A partial solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Friday, May 2, 2087,[1] with a magnitude of 0.8011.

This eclipse is a part of Saros series 120, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, and containing 71 events.

The longest duration of annularity was produced by member 11 at 6 minutes, 24 seconds on September 11, 1113, and the longest duration of totality was produced by member 60 at 2 minutes, 50 seconds on March 9, 1997.

All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s descending node of orbit.

[4] The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles.

Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee).
