FARSuN (Findability and Accessibility of historical Raw Sunspot Numbers) tackles this by rebuilding the record from the ground up: collecting handwritten logs and tables from 1607–1980, digitizing them, and applying consistent metadata and validation. The reconstructed SN V3 will deliver traceable uncertainties, hemispheric indices, and open FAIR-compliant access, strengthening space climate studies, solar cycle prediction, and coupled Sun–Earth research.
