NoteThe graph above the table shows the average values of the relative number of sunspots, where the red arrow indicates the time of 2003 eclipse. Graph was created according to data from Sunspot Index Data Center, Brussels.
OrientationThe image is presented in the orientation as it was visible from the aircraft. The image must be rotated 174.5° anticlockwise to achieve the standard orientation i.e. North top, East left
