A total solar eclipse occurred on September 21, 1903.[1][2][3] A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[4]
This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee). However, groupings of 3 inex cycles (≈ 87 years minus 2 months) comes close (≈ 1,151.02 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
In the 19th century:
Solar Saros 120: Total Solar Eclipse of 1816 Nov 19
Solar Saros 121: Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 1845 Oct 30
Solar Saros 122: Annular Solar Eclipse of 1874 Oct 10
Solar Saros 130: Total Solar Eclipse of 2106 May 03
Solar Saros 131: Annular Solar Eclipse of 2135 Apr 13
Solar Saros 132: Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 2164 Mar 23
Solar Saros 133: Total Solar Eclipse of 2193 Mar 03
Tritos seriesedit
This eclipse is a part of a tritos cycle, repeating at alternating nodes every 135 synodic months (≈ 3986.63 days, or 11 years minus 1 month). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee), but groupings of 3 tritos cycles (≈ 33 years minus 3 months) come close (≈ 434.044 anomalistic months), so eclipses are similar in these groupings.
