Inex
The inex is an eclipse cycle of 10,571.95 days. The cycle was first described in modern times by Crommelin in 1901, but was named by George van den Bergh who studied it half a century later. It has been suggested that the cycle was known to Hipparchos. A new saros series often begins one inex after the last series started. It corresponds to: 358 lunations 388.50011 draconitic months 30.50011 eclipse years 383.67351 anomalistic months. The 30.5 eclipse years means that if there is a solar eclipse, then after one inex a New Moon will take place at the opposite node of the orbit of the Moon, and under these circumstances another eclipse can occur. Unlike the saros, the inex is not close to an integer number of anomalistic months so successive eclipses are not very similar in their appearance and characteristics. From the remainder of 0.67351, being near 2/3, every third eclipse will have a similar position in the moon's elliptical orbit and apparent diameter, so the quality of the solar eclipse will repeat in these groupings of 3 cycles, called triads.¹
