John Eddy

John Eddy was a prominent solar physicist known for his research on the sun's activity and its effects on Earth. He is best remembered for his work on the Maunder Minimum, a period in the 17th century when sunspots were nearly absent, correlating with colder climate conditions on Earth. Eddy's studies highlighted the sun's influence on Earth's climate and weather patterns, advancing our understanding of solar cycles and their impact on space weather. His contributions helped clarify the complex relationship between solar behavior and its effects on our planet.
