The sunspot observations by Rheita in 1642
Abstract
The correct interpretation of a fragment of Rheita about a sunspot observation in 1642 has crucial importance in estimating the amplitude of the solar cycle just before the Maunder Minimum. We show here that this record has been misinterpreted, presenting the original Latin text and a modern English translation.
