In 1848 the Swiss astronomer Johann Rudolph Wolf introduced a daily measure- ment of sunspot number. His method, which is still used today, counts the total number of spots visible on the face of the sun and the number of groups into which they cluster, because neither quantity alone satisfactorily meas- ures sunspot activity. An observer computes a daily sunspot number by multiplying the number of groups he sees by ten and then adding this product to his total count of in- dividual spots. ...

SWIRL DISTRIBUTION ON THE LUNAR SURFACE: LOCATIONS ANTIPODAL TO THE YOUNG BASINS? ... There are two main classes of hypothesises of the swirl origin: formation of the swirls in the regions antipodal to large impact basins (1), and formation of the swirls in result of cometary impacts (2). ... The Orientale basin is youngest. ... Fig. ... On the other hand, there are two cases of absence of correlation between swirl areas and regions antipodal to impact basins (for small swirl formations). ...
