Description

Proceedings of Research Society No 15: In the period from August 1999. to the end of the 2000. the Sun activity was
observed by watching the Sun image on the paper thruogh telescope - refractor.
The number of sunspots and the number of the groups of sunspots were being
established on the Sun disc. On the bases of these results it was determined the value of
Wolf's number and the change in Sun activity has been presented graphicaly. The average
value of Wolf's number for this period is 130. In the period from august 1998. to august 1999.
the Sun activity was observed by watching the Sun image through binoculars (12x40). The
average value of Wolf's number for this period was 52.
These results show us clearly the Sun's approaching to the maximum of its activity which is
predicted to happen in this year. The confirmation for these predictions are not the only
st mentioned results, but one of the greatest Sun storms in last 10 years, happened on April 1 in
2001.(see picture 4, 5, 6 and 7). A consequence of this storm was Aurora Borealis (polar
light), which was seen even in Los Angeles. The counted value of Wolf's number for this day
is 300, which is double of average value in last year.
