The Sunspot Solar Observatory (SSO) is an astronomical observatory designed for the study of the Sun. The observatory is operated by New Mexico State University (NMSU) and the U.S. National Solar Observatory (NSO). It is split between operations at the telescope facility at Sunspot, New Mexico, and data and management at the Department of ...

Sun SPOT. Sun SPOT (Sun Small Programmable Object Technology) was a sensor node for a wireless sensor network developed by Sun Microsystems announced in 2007. The device used the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for its networking, and unlike other available sensor nodes, used the Squawk Java virtual machine . After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by ...
Spörer's law. In solar physics, Spörer's law is an empirical law for the variation of heliographic latitudes at which solar active regions form during a solar cycle. [1] It was discovered by the English astronomer Richard Christopher Carrington around 1861. [2] Carrington's work was refined by the German astronomer Gustav Spörer .
Solar cycle 17 was the seventeenth solar cycle since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. [1] [2] The solar cycle lasted 10.4 years, beginning in September 1933 and ending in February 1944. The maximum smoothed sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 198.6 (April 1937), and the starting minimum was 5.8. [3]

Solar cycle 18. Solar cycle 18 was the eighteenth solar cycle since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. [1] [2] The solar cycle lasted 10.2 years, beginning in February 1944 and ending in April 1954. The maximum smoothed sunspot number observed during the solar cycle was 218.7 (May 1947), and the starting minimum was ...
