Solar Saros-Inex Panorama
A saros-inex panorama has been produced by Luca Quaglia and John Tilley. It shows 61775 solar eclipses from -11000 to +15000.
Within each column of the graph is a complete Saros series which progresses smoothly from partial eclipses into total eclipses and back into partials. Each Inex series extends as a graph row.
The lifetime and form of each Inex series is not simple due to long term period variations: the synodic, draconic and anomalistic months.

Famous quotes containing the words solar and/or panorama:
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“It was a comfort in those succeeding days to sit up and contemplate the majestic panorama of mountains and valleys spread out below us and eat ham and hard boiled eggs while our spiritual natures reveled alternately in rainbows, thunderstorms, and peerless sunsets. Nothing helps scenery like ham and eggs.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
