	Meton of Athens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meton of Athens was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, geometer, and engineer who lived in Athens in the 5th century BCE.
		He is best known for the 19-year Metonic cycle which he introduced in 432 BCE into the lunisolar Attic calendar as a method of calculating dates.
		Meton found that 19 solar years are almost equal to 235 lunar months and 6940 days.

	TMTh:: METON OF ATHENS
		Meton was the son of Pausanias, and a native of Athens (like Demosthenes, he was from the Deme of Leuconoe, between present-day Stavros and Paiania).
		Meton is known for the 19-year "Metonic cycle", which he introduced into the ancient Athenian luni-solar calendar as a fixed system for recording astronomical observations.
		The Metonic cycle is still used to determine the date of Easter, since every 19 years the phases of the moon recur on the same days of the solar year.

		Since, according to this reckoning, the 19 years of the Metonic cycle are 6939.75 days, he quadrupled the years of this cycle to 76 years, in order to obtain a round figure of 27,759 days.
		Meton was correct to the second decimal figure, Callippus to the third, and Hipparchus to the fifth.
		Metons Nummern waren bis zur zweiten Stelle richtig, Callipus bis zur dritten und Hipparchus bis zur fünften.

	ROBINSON LUNAR OBSERVATORY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It was caused by a break in the western wall of Meton; located just north of crater Barrow C. The ray was a narrow shaft of light approximately the same width as the Barrow ray and ~60Km.
		It extended west of Meton onto an undesignated flat area between Barrow and crater M to the north.
		Although Tomy shows the coordinates for the ray at 11.0°, 74.0° N., Meton is actually located at +19.2°, E., and 73.80° N. The inital predictions, and full page of predictions are generated using his coordinates for the ray.

		And there is another astronomer, Philip, contemporary with Meton, to whom (with Euctemon) Geminus attri butes the cycle of nineteen years, to the exclusion of Meton.
		As to Meton, the son of Pausanias, and (on either supposition) the follower of Phaeinus, Suidas calls him Au/covtetfs (some read Aeu/fomus).
		Now, from this solstice to that which was observed by Aristarchus in the fiftieth year of the first period of Calippus, there have elapsed, as Hipparchus says, 152 years.

	[No title]
		In 6 of 13 tree months ("sacrifice months") a lunation rune (one of the Uruzes on either side of the Fehu that marks the day of Dark Moon) is to be "sacrificed" (skipped), yielding a lunation of 29 instead of 30 days.
		This can be done consistently with the wheel itself, since the marks indicating the begin and end of a sacrifice tree month are separated by 29 divisions on the outer wheel of the device (normally one division is skipped when an Uruz on the middle wheel is sacrificed).
		Similarly for B0:f;2, which occurs at the beginning of year 9 but would be observed at the GN of the previous year; I do not use that type of day in my intercalation scheme however.

	AC073 sMETON
		The goal of METON is to develop an optical WDM-based transport layer to support an ATM/SDH network in providing, in a cost-effective manner, a significant number of subscribers with a multi-service network.
		METON is studying the potential of exploiting an optical WDM network in the metropolitan area from several perspectives: network demands, dimensioning/cost issues, network/system functionality and architectures, manageability, transmission capability, technology choice.
		The results of METON are expected to validate the use of an optical network layer as a complement to ATM and SDH, thereby providing a cost effective, robust and flexible transport for a multi-service network in the metropolitan area.

		The Greek astronomer Meton, in the fifth century BC, discovered that the dates of the phases of the Moon repeated exactly after a period of 19 years.
		Since it is almost equal to 20 eclipse years, 6,932.4 days, it is possible for a series of four or five eclipses to occur on the same dates 19 years apart.
		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.

		In the Middle Ages in Europe, each year was given a “golden number” that identified its place in the Metonic cycle.
		The Callipic cycle of 76 years, or 940 lunations, or 27,759 days, or in other words 4 Metonic cycles, was introduced by the Greek astronomer Callippus of Cyzicus (about 370 bce-300 bce), a friend of Aristotle’s, in about 334 bce.

	radixpro :: Willem Venerius :: De Cyclus van Meton
		Op grond hiervan stelde Meton een tijdrekenkundige cyclus voor, die te Athene later waarschijnlijk ook is ingevoerd en op 13 juli 432 voor Chr.
		Het werk van Meton werd verbeterd door Calippus van Cyzicus, die vier cycli van Meton samenvatte tot één grotere cyclus, en ten slotte combineerde Hypparchus van Nicea weer vier cycli van Calippus tot een tijdsspanne van 304 jaren, waardoor een hoge mate van nauwkeurigheid werd bereikt.
		Behalve de twee genoemde, bestaat er nog een andere cyclus die afgeleid is van die van Meton, de Dyonisische of Grote Paascyclus, ook wel Victoriaanse cyclus genoemd.

	Some Properties of the Meyer-Palmen Solilunar Calendar
		One Metonic cycle is 19 years of which 7 are long.
		The long years can be divided into 137 periods in which they alternate between a 31-day and 30-day Meton for 17 or 19 long years with the first and last having a 31-day Meton.
		In looking for the pattern that the length of Meton follows I noticed it is totally independent of the pattern of the long years.

	The Calendar
		The most successful of these is the "Metonic" calendar, named after the Greek Meton, who noted that adding 7 months in the course of 19 years kept the calendar almost exactly in step with the seasons.
		The Metonic calendar is thus more accurate than the Julian one, though less so than the Gregorian.
		The traditional Chinese calendar also uses of a formula like Meton's, which was probably invented by the ancient Babylonians.
