About Draconic Months
The draconic (nodical) month = 27.2122 days = 2,351,135.8 s - the interval between successive Moon passages through the same orbital node. Named from the Latin 'draco' (dragon): eclipses only occur near the nodes, where the Moon can align with the Sun or Earth's shadow. The Saros cycle (18 yr 11 d) equals ~242 draconic months, enabling eclipse sequence forecasting. 1 drac.mo = 27.2122 d.
About Fortnights
A fortnight = exactly 14 days = 2 weeks = 1,209,600 s. From Old English 'feowertiene niht' (fourteen nights), reflecting the Germanic custom of counting nights. Common in British, Irish, Australian, and NZ English for pay periods, rental cycles, and parliamentary recesses. The Moon's phase advances ~half a synodic month (≤14.77 days) per fortnight; spring and neap tides also cycle fortnightly. 1 fortnight = 14 d = 1,209,600 s.
