There are a few different eclipse cycles.  https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEsaros/SEperiodicity.html

FWIW, the Saros numbers of those pairs add to 273.

My cousin, James Andrews, observed that the paths of eclipses before and after Jan 2015 form a symmetry. Here is a visual description [![visual description](https://i.sstatic.net/KYILG.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/KYILG.jpg)

I know there's a logical explanation, but it's been ascribed a [supernatural significance](https://www.cross2victory.com/eclipse-reversal). You'll see more of the visual description in [that link](https://www.cross2victory.com/eclipse-reversal), too.

Why are the paths symmetrical? My intuition says it has something to do with harmonics...
