Part of his job involved photographing and measuring sunspots, and in doing so he observed that the solar latitudes at which sunspots occur varies in a regular way over the course of the 11 year cycle.
After studying the work of Gustav Spoerer, who had identified a period from 1400 to 1510 when sunspots had been rare ("the Spoerer Minimum"), he examined old records from the observatory's archives to determine whether there were other such periods.
These studies led him in 1893 to announce the period that now bears his name.

Maunder, would describe fully the lull in solar activity that lasted for almost seventy-years, spanning the entire reign of Louis XIV and encompassing the times of Milton and Newton.
Although Spoerer's work (1887) preceded Maunder's, it is the latter who is generally credited with the most complete description of the strange behavior of the sun in the 17th century.
In his second paper on the subject, Maunder (1922) reported the following findings: During the period from 1645 to 1715, only a few spots were seen.
