@ciceginHikayesi no here the ( third lunar inequality ) is the discovery , I'm not sure of this discovery but that's what I understood from the context ,

@amooh: if you have any example with "that of" please share it

@ciceginHikayesi to be honest with you I'm not 100% sure so I searched it up and I got this answer and I think it's pretty helpful .. and what I learned is that you can remove that of from the sentence and it would still make perfect sense .. and it's mostly used in formal writings
