I made Saros number ."t" datas are from Astronomy book. s,Time and Angular calculate from Stellar Navigate soft Ver.7.Interval years are rough.
"*" dates are from Astronomy book.
The time is JST(GMT-9h)。
Angular is second.
Mercury cross on the sun,November group move from left-down to right-up. May group move from left-up to right-down.where up to north.
Anguler show November group move to north-west from pass to future. 2045year,saros 4 is outside of the sun. This saros is over. May group move to north-east .Each groups different tow hour.
I think this softwear dosen't include general theory of relativity I don't know that error.
Saros4 mystery is longer one day from 1953 to 1999 .
