From the story

The Greenwich Astronomer Who Named the 17th-Century Solar Minimum and Married His Best Collaborator

Edward Walter Maunder was Royal Greenwich Observatory's senior solar astronomer from 1873 to 1913. He identified the unusual 1645–1715 sunspot deficit in the Greenwich archive and substantially defined it as a coherent solar-activity phenomenon. He married his junior collaborator Annie Russell in 1895 — and her contribution to the work was substantially larger than the published record acknowledged.
