Saros cycle series 138 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 70 eclipses, 54 of which are umbral (50 annular, 1 hybrid, 3 total). The first eclipse of the series was on 6 June 1472 and the last will be on 11 July 2716. The most recent eclipse was an annular eclipse on 10 May 2013 and the next will be an annular eclipse on 21 May 2031.

The longest duration of totality will be only 56 seconds on April 3, 2554 while the longest annular was 8 minutes 2 seconds on 11 February 1869.

This solar saros is linked to Lunar Saros 131.
