April 1903 lunar eclipse

A partial lunar eclipse took place on Sunday, April 12, 1903. This nearly total lunar eclipse of Saros cycle 130 preceded the first total eclipse on April 22, 1921. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes, with 96.77% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse.

Half-Saros cycle
A lunar eclipse will be preceded and followed by solar eclipses by 9 years and 5.5 days (a half saros). This lunar eclipse is related to two hybrid solar eclipses of Solar Saros 137 (1 hybrid solar eclipse after 1901).
