The lunar nodes are two points where the plane of the moon's orbital path around Earth meets Earth's orbital plane around the sun. This is called the ecliptic. The orbital paths meet on rare occasions ...

is moving westward around the ecliptic once in 18.61 years (6,798 days). This drift carries the node early this year through the March equinox, and hence the moon's path is tilted 23.5 degrees + 5 ...
