He found that the number of sunspots rose and fell in a nearly regular cycle, lasting about 11 years. Interestingly, it soon turned out that big magnetic storms when the magnetic field was disturbed (typically by up to 1%) seemed to occur most frequently during the years with the most sunspots.
1 There are three stages of interphase: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis of new DNA), and G2 (second gap).  Cells spend most of their lives in interphase, specifically in the S phase where genetic material must be copied.
After the successful completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, both resulting daughter cells re-enter G 1 of interphase. In the cell cycle, interphase is preceded by telophase and cytokinesis of the M phase. In alternative fashion, interphase is sometimes interrupted by G0 phase, which, in some circumstances, may then end and be followed by the remaining stages of interphase.
