A partial solar eclipse occurs in the polar regions of the Earth when the center of the Moon's shadow misses the Earth.

Metonic series

The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days). All eclipses in this table occur at the Moon's ascending node.

gollark: Initiating ORBITAL LASER BEE STRIKE.
gollark: HERETIC!
