Notes

1. The Sun, of course, does not come out. The Solar System is heliocentric; the Sun stays put. It is the Earth’s rotation on its axis while orbiting the Sun that gives that notion.

2. See http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEcat5/SEcatalog.html for the five millennia catalogue of solar eclipse.

3. The surface temperature of the Sun is about 6000 K.

4. After the English astronomer, Edward Maunder, who first noticed it in the late nineteenth century.
