The tritos is an eclipse cycle of

  • 135 synodic months
  • 146.5 draconic months
  • 11.5 eclipse years (23 eclipse seasons)

The pre-Columbian Maya used a calculation in their own observations of eclipse cycles in which a period of three tritoses was approximated by 11960 days, based on 46 periods of their tzolk'in calendar (i.e. 46 × 260 days).
