Sunspots throughout History

Spaceweather.com has an interesting, interactive online tool that allows you to easily view data on sunspot activity throughout history.  You can choose a date and view a graph of recorded sunspot activity.  The available data goes back to 1755.  According to the website: "you can investigate the relationship between solar activity and many historical events: Do stocks crash during solar minimum? (Some people think so.) Did NASA send astronauts to the Moon during Solar Max? How do sunspots affect the length of mini-skirts? If you find any interesting coincidences, be sure to tell the webmaster."

Weird. I was just searching the web for a tool EXACTLY like this last night when I was blogging about about psychic significance of sun-spots and space-weather. :) http://teleomorph.com/2009/05/26/hows-the-space-weather/

I think you'll enjoy this, then....

I haven't quite figured out what's up with creating my "info" page, but if this comment comes through, I welcome you to read my thoughts on the solar minimum and how solar activity affects consciousness (not just human). Here's the direct link to the page with two of my articles tagged "solar minimum": http://inter-intelligence-communications.com/?tag=solar-minimum

My dad was a solarcycles guy, he found correspondences in weed spectrum, pests, fertility, mutation, hydrology, weather, mineral colloidability, soil crumble, etc... The next solarmax 2012 is said to be a 50 year max however —Ken McCracken predicts a 20 year cooling period connected with an absence of sunspots on the sun…part of a 2300 year cycle. http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/current/audioonly/ssw_20081011_12... Most elaborate info source I know: www.foundationforthestudyofcycles.org/ www.cyclesresearchinstitute.org —Interdisciplinary Cycles Research Institute (CRI) Cycles Magazine and Journal is published four times a year.
