About Minutes
A minute (min) = exactly 60 s, inherited from Babylonian sexagesimal astronomy. Medieval astronomers named the sixtieth part of a degree 'pars minuta prima' (hence minute); its sixtieth 'pars minuta secunda' (hence second). Running performance is expressed in min/km or min/mile; music tempo in BPM (beats per minute, ~40-220); angles in degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS). 1 min = 60 s = 1/60 h.
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.
