I recently read a paper titled : " The Saros cycle: obtaining eclipse periodicity from Newton's laws "
My question is, more or less: " Is it possible to obtain an approximation of G by observing Saros periodicity ? "
I'm currently studying the derivations of the Lunar , Solar, and Stellar calendars, dating back to Babylonian / Chaldean / Sumerian astronomy, and was curious about this after discovering something intriguing in Newton's work
Thanks,
Isaac
