Abstract
The Saros cycle has been known since antiquity and refers to the periodicity of eclipses. It is the least common multiple of three periods: the synodic, the draconic, and the anomalistic months. We show how to obtain these periods from Newton's laws with a precision greater than 0.02% using only the sidereal month and year as references.
