  2. Eclipse cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_cycle

    Eclipse cycles have a period in which a certain number of synodic months closely equals an integer or half-integer number of draconic months: one such period after an eclipse, a syzygy (new moon or full moon) takes place again near a node of the Moon's orbit on the ecliptic, and an eclipse can occur again. However, the synodic and draconic ...

  3. Eclipse season - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_season

    An eclipse season is a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Eclipse seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane), just as Earth's weather seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted axis as it orbits around the Sun.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipparchic_cycle

    An eclipse cycle constructed by Hipparchus is described in Ptolemy's Almagest IV.2: . For from the observations he set out he [Hipparchus] shows that the smallest constant interval defining an ecliptic period in which the number of months and the amount of [lunar] motion is always the same, is 126007 days plus 1 equinoctial hour.

    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.

  8. Solar eclipse of April 20, 2023 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_20...

    This eclipse is a part of the long period inex cycle, repeating at alternating nodes, every 358 synodic months (≈ 10,571.95 days, or 29 years minus 20 days). Their appearance and longitude are irregular due to a lack of synchronization with the anomalistic month (period of perigee).
