They are predicted by the saros cycles

wanna see the source code that does it?

saros doesn't predict ground track at all

Please cast a custom shadow on the moon

@FartFace you can make a code for a flat earth or even a geocentric globe also

Eclipses have been predicted for thousands of years since before the globe was introduced

@Citizen Z ya but if your code was accurate i'd find that interesting

but you dont' have that

@FartFace it is

I do.

i have a physics model that uses gravity and spherical earth that predicts the ground track

do you have that

lets see the eclipse ground track prediction using your flat earth

and local sun

and local moon

solar eclipse of course, since i said ground track

what's gravity?

hmmm dunno

just like we don't know what the electroweak force IS

Note the eclipse of sept 22 1968

East then back west

Impossible on a spinning ball

ok cool where did this info come from

the saros cycle?

or something else

wait i thougth you guys said west to east was impossible, for the 2017 eclipse

now west to east is normal?

Its not normal for a globe

which one is normal

Or to change direction

ok well here's how they're ACTUALLY predicted:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Propulsion_Laboratory_Development_Ephemeris

nothing to do with patterns, or saros cycle

saros cycle is the pattern that emerges due to the mechanics of the solar system

Sure dude

Your model
