		Schwabe is a small lunar crater that is located in the northern part of the Moon.
		To the south of Schwabe is a cleft like-feature that runs from the rim of 'Schwabe D' a distance of nearly 100 km eastward.
		The remaining rim of Schwabe crater is worn and uneven, with the most intact section along the east-southeast side.

	Schwabe, Samuel Heinrich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Schwabe was born in Dessau, studied at Berlin, and worked as a pharmacist.
		Schwabe began to watch the Sun in 1825 with a 5-cm/2-in telescope and noticed sunspots, making daily counts of them for most of the rest of his life.
		In 1827 Schwabe rediscovered the eccentricity of Saturn's rings, and in 1831 he drew a picture of the planet Jupiter on which the Great Red Spot was shown for the first time.

	S. Heinrich Schwabe
		Samuel Heinrich Schwabe was born on 25 October 1789 in Dessau, near Berlin.
		That same year Schwabe published this interesting result in the Journal Astronomische Nachrichten, but it attracted little attention until 1851 when his sunspot data was included by Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) in volume III of his monumental Kosmos.
		While Schwabe's fame as an astronomer rests chiefly on his discovery of the sunspot cycle, he is also credited with the first description and drawing, in 1831, of Jupiter's great red spot.

	The Sun -- History
		The modern period of sunspot research began with Heinrich Schwabe, a pharmacist in the German town of Dessau who was also an amateur astronomer.
		Schwabe's original interest was the possibility of an unknown planet close to the Sun, which he believed might be detected as a dark spot when passing in front of the Sun.
		Ultimately, however, Schwabe's article caught the eye of Alexander von Humboldt, tireless promoter of the sciences, who in 1851 published Schwabe's table (updated to 1850) in his encyclopaedic compilation of natural science, "Kosmos." After that scientists all over the world became interested in the 11-year sunspot cycle.

		The Sun's cycle of activity was discovered by an amateur astronomer, named Heinrich Schwabe, in Germany.
		Schwabe conducted observations of the Sun from 1826 to 1843 and determined that the Sun rotates on its axis once in 27 days.
		Schwabe also determined that the Sun's activity has terrestrial effects.

		One of them—the discovery of electromagnetic radiation—was the achievement of Heinrich Hertz, a German physicist.

		One of the best known instances concerns the discovery of the sunspot-cycle by the German amateur astronomer, Heinrich Schwabe, in the mid-nineteenth century.
		Schwabe began to observe the Sun in 1826 after studying science at the University of Berlin and returning to Dessau to enter business.
		Schwabe believed that eventually this elusive planet must cross (transit) the solar disk and thus reveal its presence to him.

	Round 11
		Heinrich Schwabe was apparently looking for a new unknown planet when he came upon something that has been both thought provoking and controversial.
		According to the site that I visited, Schwabe found that the number of sunspots rose and fell in a nearly regular cycle, lasting about 11 years.
		Since it was discovered that the sun has a polar field somewhat like the Earth's, but that it reverses its polarity during each 11-year cycle, and that sunspots have been known to affect electronic or other signals on earth lead me to believe that the cycle does affect earth's climate.

		Samuel Heinrich Schwabe was born 1789 in Berlin.
		It was only much later, in 1916, that the observed pertubations in Mercury's orbit were found to be due to relastivistic effects.
		In 1831 Schwabe was the first to record Jupiter's Great Red Spot in a sketch.

	Richard Christopher Carrington
		Impressed by Heinrich Schwabe's 1843 discovery of the sunspot cycle, and appalled by the lack of systematic sunspots observations, Carrington took it upon himself to pick up the subject where Schwabe had left it.
		Improving on Schwabe's projection/drawing method, Carrington drew and recorded the positions of sunspots from 1853 to 1861.
		When Schwabe was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society's Gold Medal in 1857, Carrington personally delivered the medal to the aging German astronomer, and later persuaded him to donate his extensive collection of sunspot drawings to the Society's Archives.

	The Sun's Magnetic Cycle
		During the time when Gauss was studying the Earth's magnetic field, elsewhere in Germany a serious amateur astronomer named Heinrich Schwabe (Shwah-bay), a pharmacist by trade, was searching for a new unknown planet.
		That planet, tentatively named "Vulcan," was expected to be inside the orbit of Mercury, so close to the Sun that its presence became evident only when it passed between us and the Sun, a dark spot crawling across the solar disk.
		However, after a decade and more of diligent observations, Schwabe found something that had eluded all astronomers of the preceding two centuries--since sunspots were first reported by Galileo and Christopher Scheiner.

		Galileo made the first published observations of sunspots in 1613 and said these spots were on the surface of the Sun.
		Samuel Heinrich Schwabe, an amateur astronomer discovered that sunspots had a cycle by his estimation of 10 years.
		Finally, Johann Rudolf Wolf used the telescope and Samuel Heinrich Schwabe's findings to accurately calculate that a sunspot's cycle was 11.1 years, and created Wolf's sunspot number, a system still used today.
