E Walter and Annie S D Maunder's work helped in understanding our sun's chemical, electromagnetic and plasma properties. They knew the sun's sunspot migration patterns and its variable, climate-affecting, inactive and active states in short and long time frames. An inactive solar period starting in the mid-seventeenth century lasted approximately seventy years, one that E Walter Maunder worked hard to make us understand: the MaSunspotsClimatic changesAstronomersGreat BritainSunElectronic books.Sunspots.Climatic changes.Astronomers523.74Soon Willie874695Yaskell Steven H874696MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454087703321The Maunder Minimum and the variable sun-earth connection1952931UNINA
