Interesting! I hadn't thought about how far ahead we could predict them. I guess that also goes for retrodiction, which is more important because it sometimes helps us with history.

Indeed! From what I understand, due to having some historical records we can retrodict eclipses a bit further than we can predict them.

You can retrodict from the last historically well-attested eclipse, right? So that makes the view into the past more certain
