The periodicity and recurrence of solar (and lunar) eclipses is governed by the Saros cycle, a period of approximately 6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours). When two eclipses are separated by a period of one Saros, they share a very similar geometry. The two eclipses occur at the same node with the Moon at nearly the same distance from Earth and at the same time of year. Thus, the Saros is useful for organizing eclipses into families or series. Each series typically lasts 12 to 13 centuries and contains 70 or more eclipses. Every saros series begins with a number of partial eclipses near one of Earth's polar regions. The series will then produce several dozen central eclipses before ending with a group of partial eclipses near the opposite pole.
Solar eclipses of Saros 126 all occur at the Moon’s descending node and the Moon moves northward with each eclipse. The series began with a partial eclipse in the southern hemisphere on 1179 Mar 10. The series will end with a partial eclipse in the northern hemisphere on 2459 May 03. The total duration of Saros series 126 is 1280.14 years. In summary:
First Eclipse = 1179 Mar 10 07:39:51 TD
Last Eclipse = 2459 May 03 02:35:54 TD
Duration of Saros 126 = 1280.14 Years

United Nations Security Council Resolution 135
Adopted by the Security Council at its 863rd meeting, by 9 votes to none, with 2 abstentions (Poland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), on 27 May 1960
The Security Council,
Mindful of its responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security,
Noting with regret that the hopes of the world for a successful meeting of the Heads of Government of France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America has not been fulfilled,
Considering that these developments have caused great disappointment and concern in world public opinion,
Considering also that the resulting situation may lead to an increase of international tensions likely to endanger peace and security,
Being convinced of the necessity to make every effort to restore and strengthen international good will and confidence, based on the established principles of international law,
Being especially aware of the mounting danger of the continuation of the armaments race,
1. Recommends to the Governments concerned to seek solutions of existing international problems by negotiation or other peaceful means as provided in the Charter of the United Nations;
2. Appeals to all Member Governments to refrain from the use or threats of force in their international relations, to respect each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence, and to refrain from any action which might increase tensions;
3. Requests the Governments concerned to continue their efforts to achieve a constructive solution of the question of general and complete disarmament under effective international control in accordance with General Assembly resolution 1378 (XIV) and the discontinuance of all nuclear weapons tests under an appropriate international control system, as well as their negotiations on measures to prevent surprise attack, including technical measures, as recommended by the General Assembly;
4. Urges the Governments of France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America to resume discussions as soon as possible and to avail themselves of the assistance that the Security Council and other appropriate organs of the United Nations may be able to render this end.

Although composite, 145 is a pseudoprime.
Given 145, the Mertens function returns 0.
145 is a pentagonal number and a centered square number.
145 = 122 + 12 = 82 + 92. 145 is the fourth number that is the sum of two different pairs of squares. Also, 145 is the result of 34 + 43, making it a Leyland number.
145 = 1! + 4! + 5!, making it a factorion. The only other numbers that have the property that they are the sum of the factorials of their digits are 1, 2 and 40585.

146.
1 is a number that is quite useful when counting things.
4 is the number of fingers on your left hand.
6 is the number of fingers on your right hand. (If you add two....)
Lordhat, are you sure that 145 = 122 +12? That seems to make 134 to me. Also, 82 +92 = 174, not 145...... Also, who is that in your avatar?
