About Anomalistic Months
The anomalistic month = interval between successive Moon perigees = 27.5546 days = 2,380,713.2 s. Slightly longer than the sidereal month because the Moon's perigee precesses, completing one revolution in ~8.85 years. Governs 'supermoons': a full moon at perigee appears ~14% wider and 30% brighter. Tidal forces at perigee are ~30% stronger than at apogee. 1 anom.mo = 27.5546 d.
About Centuries
A century = exactly 100 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10⁹ s. Standard unit of historical periodisation (the 20th century, the 18th-century Enlightenment). IPCC projects warming and sea-level rise on century timescales. Precession of the equinoxes advances ~1.39°/century, so zodiac constellations no longer match their named seasons. Ice-core and radiocarbon records are commonly displayed at century resolution. 1 century = 100 yr.
