To calculate the saros and inex numbers for a lunar eclipse near a given date, add nine years to the date and find the numbers for the solar eclipse half a saros later, then subtract 7 from the solar saros number to obtain the lunar saros number, and subtract 13 from the solar inex number to obtain the lunar inex number.

To calculate the saros and inex numbers of an eclipse in every eclipse season from 11,000 BC to AD 15,000 based on a given approximate date:
First, calculate the index of the eclipse season as:
where "
datetime
" is the number of Gregorian years since January 1, 1 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.Next, calculate how many times a five-month period separates two targeted eclipses using the formula:
The saros number for the eclipse is then:
and the inex number is:
