| The saros period also comprises 238.992 anomalistic months, again nearly a whole number. |
| Total solar eclipse tracks perform consistent geographical steps within a saros, as in Figure 2.2, and there are systematic trends in other eclipse sequences. |
| Thus, the Moon's distance from Earth is the same after a whole number of anomalistic months and very nearly the same after one saros. |
| He is against its being so far north as the Gulf of saros and the narrow neck of land there. |
| Two consecutive saros series are separated by the inex, a period of 29 years minus 20 days that is, 358 synodic months after which time the new moon has come from one node to the opposite node. |
| Referring to Figure 15-7 one sees how this eclipse echoes that of February 26, 1998, which was a saros earlier. |
