About Millennia
A millennium (1 ka) = 1,000 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10¹⁰ s. Standard unit in archaeology and Quaternary geology: Neolithic transition ~10-12 ka BP; Last Glacial Maximum ~21 ka BP; Homo sapiens leaving Africa ~60-70 ka BP. Milankovitch cycles include the 41 ka obliquity and ~100 ka eccentricity cycle. EPICA Antarctic ice core spans ~800 ka. Precession completes ~26 ka. 1 ka = 1,000 yr.
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.
