Predict when an eclipse would happen, but not necessarily what type and where it would be visible.
The Saros is a cycle of 18 years & 11 days; that is, the Metonic Cycle less twelve lunar months. It is composed of the Venus cycle, the anomalistic cycle [ the Moon's rotation around the Earth], the Draconic Cycle & the Soli-lunar cycle, The last two deal with eclipses. It is also handy for predicting tides.
could you please tell me when mickey mantle hit the cycle in a game that is exact date and where
Some ancient civilizations such as the Mayans believed in human sacrifice in order for the natural cycle of seasons to continue. The Mayans would sacrifice prisoners from the top of their stone temples.

It's not ancient Egypt! It's the Maurya Empire.
The ancient Chinese believed in an afterlife but imagined that it would be very similar to their life on Earth. They believed that people would have the same needs in the after life as they did when they were alive, which is why many people were buried with useful household items. In early times, the servants and families of wealthy people were expected to sacrifice themselves to accompany their master into the afterlife. Later, however, carpenters and sculptors were commissioned to make statues of servants that could be buried with the dead.
Actually, it is pretty much the same from one Saros cycle to the next. Because of the way that the Earth orbits the Sun and spins on its axis, the pattern isn't from one eclipse to the next; it is far more complex. The cycle is called the Saros Cycle, and can (fairly accurately) show the similarities between a series of eclipses.
The saros cycle is on third of a day longer than 18 years 11 days. When the eclipse happens again, Earth will have rotated one-third of a turn farther east, and the eclipse will occur one-third of the way westward around Earth
The Saros cycle is an eclipse cycle with a period of about 18 years 11 days 8 hours (approximately 6585â…“ days) that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. One cycle after an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon return to approximately the same relative geometry, and a nearly identical eclipse will occur west of the original location.
Basically, under the Persian Empire, Kidinnu or Cidenas: famous Babylonian astronomer (fourth century BCE?), one of the most important persons in the history of science, created the saros cycle. At first, intercalary months were announced by the king (who had an astronomical adviser), but after Babylon had been captured by the Persian king Cyrus in 539, priestly officials took over. They started to look for a standard procedure for the intercalation of months. It was introduced in 503 BCE by Darius I the Great (if not earlier).
There are a number of factors, here are the most obvious:-The Moon's orbit of the Earth is elliptical not circular. This means that with each eclipse the Moon can be a different distance from the Earth and this affects how long the eclipse lasts and can even result in annular eclipses when the Moon is furthest away.Eclipses can only occur when a new Moon coincides with the orbit of the Moon crossing the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun). This causes the path of the eclipse to vary from eclipse to eclipse. However, there is a pattern, the periodicity and recurrence of eclipses is governed by the Saros cycle, a period of approximately 6,585.3 days (18 years 11 days 8 hours). Thus any two eclipses separated by one Saros cycle share very similar geometries.In more detail you need to know that Saros cycles occur in a series called a Saros series which may last 1226 to 1550 years and is comprised of 69 to 87 eclipses. In a series the pattern starts with the path of the eclipse near the equator and this then moves progressively towards the poles.

The lunar phase cycle from a full moon to new moon and back again is called a lunation.However, the moon has an elliptical orbit and is sometimes closer to the earth than at other times. A full moon when it is close to the earth looks bigger than a full moon when it is farthest away. It takes 14 lunations for the pattern of full moons to go from a big full moon (closest to earth) to a small full moon (farthest away) and back again. The 14 lunations are called a full moon cycle.If you wish to consider lunar eclipses then 16 full moon cycles make up a saros. About 40 lunar eclipses occur during a saros and eclipses which occur 1 saros apart are very similar.
It could be the krab cycle/citric acid cycle

Nothing you could do without intent could disrupt the rock cycle. There is no need for you to worry.
There could be a possibility. However, the world will not end. The Mayans did not say that there will be an end to the world in 2012. Several people forgot that they meant that a cycle will end and a new cycle will begin.
