Saros cycle
The Saros cycle is an eclipse cycle. It is a period of about 6585 + 1/3 days (approximately 18 years 11 days) which can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon.

The Saros cycle is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days 8 hours (approximately 6585â…" days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon.
Saros cycles don't last forever or indefinitely, because realignments of full Moon with its node are not perfect. A typical Saros series consists of 69 to 86 eclipses spanning well over a thousand years.

Edmond Halley, whose name is associated by most people with the comet carrying his name, was interested in classical writings, especially those concerning astronomy.
saros cycle - (n.)
An 18-year, 11-day repeating pattern of solar and lunar eclipses caused by a combination of the tilt of the lunar orbit with respect to the ecliptic and the precession of the plane of the moon's orbit.

The Saros cycle is probably the best known, and one of the most accurate, eclipse cycles. The Inex cycle is itself a poor cycle, but it is very convenient in the classification of eclipse cycles.
Two well-known eclipse cycles are the Saros cycle and the Inex cycle. The Saros cycle is probably the most well known, and one of the best, eclipse cycles.
