A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS ON SUNSPOTS: AN ODYSSEY WITH THE ASTRONOMY CLUB

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive overview record on sunspot observations conducted over a span of over four months. The study aimed to characterise and monitor sunspot activity on the Sun’s surface. High-resolution images and data were acquired using Dr. Maddy’s 150mm EQ Refractor Telescope, enabling the precise measurement of sunspot positions, sizes and magnetic field properties. Complementary validations were analysed as well. The observations reveal a dynamic and evolving sunspot population with periodic variations and long-term trends. The findings contribute to our understanding of solar activity and its potential implications for space weather. This work underscores the importance of continued sunspot monitoring for space research and solar science. With this comprehensive analysis, we have presented an article which would be directly accessible and exploitable for future research.
