Sentences with phrase «numbers of sunspots seen»

While solar output typically goes through 11 - year cycles with high numbers of sunspots seen at their peak, we are currently approaching the peak of «Cycle - 24» with numbers running at less than half of those observed during other 20th century peaks.

The solar cycle that began in 2008 will reach maximum in 2013, but that maximum is predicted to have only one - half of the number of sunspots seen in the previous cycle.
