The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", is the name used for the period starting in about 1645 and continuing to about 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time.
The Maunder Minimum was created in 1976.

The Maunder Minimum, a period of low solar activity in the 17th century, is linked to a cooler climate known as the "Little Ice Age." Some scientists suggest that understanding past solar variations like the Maunder Minimum can help improve climate change models and predictions.

A "Manunder Object" could be a sunspot occurring during the Maunder Minimum. The Maunder Minimum is the name given to the period roughly spanning 1645 to 1715 by John A. Eddy in a landmark 1976 paper published in Science titled "The Maunder Minimum", when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time. Astronomers before Eddy had also named the period after the solar astronomer Edward W. Maunder (1851-1928) who studied how sunspot latitudes changed with time.
The Maunder Minimum, which occurred from approximately 1645 to 1715, was a period of significantly reduced sunspot activity, coinciding with the Little Ice Age in Europe. This reduction in solar activity is believed to have contributed to cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere, leading to harsher winters and shorter growing seasons. The connection between solar output and climate is complex, but the Maunder Minimum highlights how variations in solar energy can influence Earth's climate patterns over extended periods.
The mechanisms behind the lack of sunspots in the late 16 hundreds to the early 17 hundreds (the Maunder Minimum) is debated. Among the effects on the Earth was colder weather for extended periods of time (the canals in the Netherlands froze solid each winter for decades), this has only happened occasionally during the last century.
Samuel Maunder died in 1849.
