An Accuratissima plus a Tritrix plus a saros makes an eclipse cycle 1.8 days short of 2000 Julian years, or 13.2 days longer than 2000 Gregorain years. It is only half a day less than a whole number of anomalistic months, whereas the Accuratisssima is only 0.2 days short of a whole number of anomalistic months. Mackay cycle
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.Such an alignment occurs approximately every six months, during the eclipse season in its new moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of Earth's orbit.

The saros (/ ˈ s ɛər ɒ s / ⓘ) is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, approximately 6585.321 days (18.04 years), or 18 years plus 10, 11, or 12 days (depending on the number of leap years), and 8 hours, that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of the Earth, totally or partially. By location [ edit ]
A total solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, while fully blocking the face of the sun. Lunar eclipses occur at the full moon phase.
This eclipse is part of an eclipse season, a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Only two (or occasionally three) eclipse seasons occur each year, and each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months (173 days) later; thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year.
Eclipse season starts on March 25 with the lunar eclipse in Libra and ends on April 8, 2024, with the solar eclipse in Aries.
