	Johann Franz Encke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johann Franz Encke (September 23, 1791 – August 26, 1865) was a German astronomer, born in Hamburg.
		Encke studied mathematics and astronomy from 1811 at the University of Göttingen under Carl Friedrich Gauss; but he enlisted in the Hanseatic Legion for the campaign of 1813–1814, and became lieutenant of artillery in the Prussian service in 1815.
		Encke predicted its return for 1822, but this return was only observable from the southern hemisphere and was seen by K. Ruemker from Australia.

		Encke followed a suggestion by J.-L. Pons, who suspected one of the three comets discovered in 1818 to be the same one already discovered by him
		During Encke's directorship the work at the Berlin observatory concentrated on the calculation of the orbits of asteroids and the influence of the big planets on these orbits.
		Encke died in Spandau, near Berlin, on 28.

	Johann Franz Encke - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
		Johann Franz Encke, född 1791 i Hamburg, död 1865, tysk astronom.
		Encke studerade under Gauss i Göttingen och förestod observatoriet Seeberg vid Gotha som vicedirektor 1817-22, som direktor 1822-25, varefter han kallades till direktor för observatoriet i Berlin, på vilken post han kvarstod till 1863.
		Undersökningarna om Enckes komets rörelse fortsattes senare av von Asten och Backlund, av vilka den senare påvisade, att Enckes hypotes om motstånd från ett befintligt medium inte var riktig, utan att förminskningen av kometens omloppstid sannolikt hade till orsak inflytandet av en meteorsvärm, som kometen passerade i någon punkt av sin bana.

	Comet Encke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was Johann Franz Encke who, in 1819, was able to demonstrate that these four comets were identical; this was the second comet (after 1P/Halley) which was established as periodic, therefore designated "2P".
		Johann Franz Encke (Sep 23, 1791 - Aug 26, 1865) came from Hamburg, Germany, and studied mathematics and astronomy under Gauss at Goettingen.
		Encke found the periodicity of "his" comet during his time at Seeberg; also at that time, he calculated the Sun's distance from observations of the Venus transits of 1761 and 1769.

		Johann Gottfried Galle (June 9, 1812 – July 10, 1910) was a German astronomer at the Berlin Observatory who, with help from Urbain Le Verrier, sighted Neptune on September 23, 1846.
		He had started to work as an assistant to Johann Franz Encke in 1835 immediately following the completion of the Berlin observatory.
		The same night, after Encke gave him the permission against his own judgement, an object fitting the description was found, and it was confirmed as being a planet over the next two evenings.

	Comet Encke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comet Encke (officially designated 2P/Encke) is a periodic comet, named after Johann Franz Encke, who through laborious study of its orbit and many calculations was able to link multiple observations in 1786 (2P/1786 B1), 1795 (2P/1795 V1), 1805 (2P/1805 U1) and 1818 (2P/1818 W1) to the same object.
		As its official designation implies, Encke's Comet was the second periodic comet discovered after Halley's Comet (aka 1P/Halley).
		Comet Encke is believed to be the originator of the Taurids meteor shower.

		Encke is the comet with the shortest orbital period known taking about 3.3 years to complete one revolution around the Sun.
		Only when Johann Franz Encke, then just twenty-seven years old, worked out the orbit, did it become clear to him that the comets observed in 1786, 1795, 1805, and 1818 were, in fact, one of the same.
		Enckes Comet is also the first comet that has been observed throughout its orbit, for it has even been photographed at the far end of its orbit (aphelion), first in September 1913 and again in August 1972.

		Johannes Hevelius (1611-87), Christian Huygens (1629-95) and others who constituted second school took comets as transitory objects and their intrinsic motions as uniform and rectilinear.
		Encke believed that the opposing force resulted from the friction of comet moving through a resisting medium surrounding the Sun.
		So while Encke's comet revealed a dynamic behaviour which was inconsistent with Newtonian mechanics the comet Biela which disappeared after disintegrating showed that comets were not permanent celestial bodies.
