"This article presents a new concept to illustrate the chain of solar eclipses in accordance with the Saros cycle. Eclipses in a Saros cycle are placed in a circle depending on the calendar date. By concentrically placing several Saros circles in chronological order, we notice that the Saros series appear in the form of spirals that resemble a . In an entire Saros series we can easily notice where it begins and ends. By analyzing within the rosette representation the chain of eclipses – circular, radial, and spiral – we can highlight several cycles of eclipses. A correlation between the Saros cycle and the s of repeating eclipses is also illustrated."
