	Draconic
		Jan 1998, Draconic is, by our estimates, the largest community of otherkin dragons on the internet, serving 255 unique members this past month alone.
		Draconic appeared to be down for most people from Sat morning till sometime Mon because Network Solutions is incompetent.
		Draconic and other small companies who can't pay will suffer, and I personally believe that this is big step towards stiffling the inexpensive free expression the internet provides.

	Month - LoveToKnow 1911
		At common law, "month" generally means a lunar month, although in mercantile matters it has been generally understood to mean a calendar month, but there is no general exception giving it that meaning in commercial documents.
		In the rules of the supreme court and in the county court rules month means a calendar month.
		In mercantile contracts in computing the period of a month the day from which the time is to begin to run is excluded, but in sentences of imprisonment the day on which the sentence begins is included, so that the numerically corresponding day in the month in which the sentence expires would be excluded.

		This month is also different from the actual cycle or sidereal month, as seen from outside of the earth.
		The synodic month varies because as the earth moves around the sun--changing the relative angle of sunlight hitting the moon--the moon must rotate a little past its actual starting point in order to appear as it did at its starting point.
		The ‘’tropical month’’ is about 6.8 seconds shorter than the sidereal month, and is based on the lunar equinox as it moves along the earth’s ecliptic.

		But all lunar months approximate the mean length of the synodic month of approximately 29.53059 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds).
		An anomalistic month is the Moon's orbital period measured from perigee to perigee - the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
		The draconic month or nodal month is the period in which the Moon returns to the same node of its orbit; the nodes are the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the Earth's orbit.

		The actual period of the Moon's orbit as measured in a fixed frame of reference is known as a sidereal month (\sī-dir'-ē-ǝl, sǝ- \), because it is the time it takes the Moon to return to the same position on the celestial sphere among the fixed stars (Latin: sidus): 27.
		Hence the time it takes the Moon to return to the same node is again shorter than a sidereal month: this is called the draconic (\drā-cŏn'-ĭk\) month, which has an average length of about 27 1/5 days.

		The draconic month is the amount of time for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth, measured between rising node crossings; the rising node is when the Moon crosses the plane of Earth's orbit.
		The tropical month is the amount of time for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth in relation to the equinox and solstice points (which shift relative to the stars because of precession).
		30 is the closest integer to the length of the synodic month.

		The 19-year cycle is also close (to somewhat more than half a day) to 255 draconic month s, so it also is an eclipse cycle, which lasts only for about 4 or 5 recurrences of eclipses.
		The implicit 11-year cycle is one month more than a better eclipse cycle called the tritos, which has 135 synodic months very close to 146.5 draconic months.
		An even better eclipse cycle, the Saros, is defined as 223 synodic months (roughly 18 calendar years and 11 days) and equals 242 draconic months to within 51 min.

		A month is a period of time that is (historically) tied to the motion of the Moon around the Earth.
		In some calendars, such as the Gregorian calendar that is used in the West, the months are no longer directly tied to the phases of the Moon.
		For example, on 1 January 2000 the average length of the synodical month was equal to 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.877 seconds, and this length increases at 0.019 seconds per century.

		Eclipse cycles have a period in which a certain number of synodic months closely equals an integer or half-integer number of draconic months: one such period after an eclipse, a syzygy (new moon or full moon) takes place again near a node of the Moon's orbit on the ecliptic, and an eclipse can occur again.
		However, the synodic and draconic months are incommensurate: their ratio is not an integer number.
		The ratio of synodic months per half eclipse year and per eclipse year yields the same series: 5.868831091 = synodic months/half, /full eclipse years 5+1/ 5/1 1+1/ 6/1 semester 6+1/ 41/7 1+1/ 47/8 47/4 1+1/ 88/15 1+1/ 135/23 tritos 1+1/ 223/38 223/19 Saros 1+1/ 358/61 Inex 11+1/ 4161/709 1+...

	Month (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The month is a unit of time, used with calendar s, which is approximately as long as some natural period related to the motion of the Moon.
		The actual period of the Moon's orbit as measured in a fixed frame of reference is known as a sidereal month, because it is the time it takes the Moon to return to the same position on the celestial sphere among the fixed star s (Latin: sidus): about 27 1/3 days on average.
		The apparent diameter of the Moon varies with this period, and therefore this type of month has some relevance for the prediction of eclipse s (see saros), whose extent, duration, and appearance depend on the exact apparent diameter of the Moon.

	The Metonic Cycle and the Saros
		The metonic cycle was used to determine how intercalary months could be inserted into a lunar calendar so that the calendar year and the tropical (seasonal) year were kept in step.
		If we take 223 synodic months (6,585.321 days) and compare them with 242 draconic months (6,585.357 days) we can see that they are almost the same.

		The month is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as some natural period related to the motion of the Moon (moon gives month in the same way that wide gives width and broad gives breadth).
		Therefore it takes the Moon less time to return to an ecliptic longitude of zero than to the same point amidst the fixed stars: 27.321 582 days (27d 7h 43min 4.7sec).

		Months now alternated 29 and 30 days making a year of 354 days requiring an extra intercalated month now and again to get the seasons to line up properly.
		The Draconic month is the time between two ascending nodes (27.21222 days mean value) and since eclipses can only occur when the moon is also full or new we need some nice round numbers where the draconic and synodic month match up.
		A nice one is 6 synodic months for 61/2 draconic months but it tends to slip fairly quickly being useful for only seven or eight cycles.

	Hermit Eclipse: Science: Lunar Months
		Incidentally, the term "Draconic" refers to a mythological dragon, that supposedly lives in the nodes and regularly eats the Sun or Moon at an eclipse.
		Well, as we've seen, an eclipse happens when the Moon is at one of the two nodes; and the period which determines this is the Draconic Month.
		Now, it happens that 223 Synodic months is 6585.321 days; and 242 Draconic months is 6585.357 days, which is almost the same, and indeed close enough to produce an eclipse.
