Solar eclipses of 2040–2043

This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[1]

Metonic cycle

The metonic series repeats eclipses every 19 years (6939.69 days), lasting about 5 cycles. Eclipses occur in nearly the same calendar date. In addition, the octon subseries repeats 1/5 of that or every 3.8 years (1387.94 days).

gollark: There's even JSX, where you can write HTML but in JS for some insane reason.
gollark: See, us COOL and TRENDY JS developers write ES2027 and compile it down to ES5 or so for bad browsers.
gollark: Also typescript.
