At the minor lunar standstill, the Moon will change its declination during the tropical month from +18.3° to −18.3°, for a total range of 37°. Then 9.3 years later, during the major lunar standstill, the Moon will change its declination during the month roughly from +28.6° to −28.6°, which totals 57° in range.

Lunar standstill: every 18.6 years, the declination range of the Moon reaches a maximum or minimum. Lunar precession is a term used for three different precession motions related to the Moon . First, it can refer to change in orientation of the lunar rotational axis with respect to a reference plane , following the normal rules of precession ...
A lunisolar calendar was found at Warren Field in Scotland and has been dated to c. 8000 BC, during the Mesolithic period. [2] [3] Some scholars argue for lunar calendars still earlier—Rappenglück in the marks on a c. 17,000 year-old cave painting at Lascaux and Marshack in the marks on a c. 27,000 year-old bone baton—but their findings remain controversial.
