Jack Eddy

Jack Eddy was a prominent solar physicist and historian of science who studied how the Sun’s activity affects Earth's climate. He is best known for his research on the Sun's magnetic cycles, especially the approximately 11-year cycle of solar activity. Eddy also explored historical records of sunspots and solar phenomena to understand past climate variations. His work revealed that changes in solar activity could influence Earth's climate systems, helping scientists better grasp natural climate variability. Eddy's contributions bridged astrophysics and climate science, emphasizing the importance of solar cycles in understanding environmental changes.
