Jack Eddy

Jack Eddy

Jack Eddy (1932 – ) is an American astronomer. He did a study in 1976 demonstrating that irregular variations in solar surface activity, a few centuries long, were connected with major climate shifts. It was at this time that he coined the term Maunder Minimum, for the dearth of sunspots seen between 1645 and 1715.

Similar work has been done by Sallie Baliunas and Willie Soon.
