  Fabricius, Johannes <br> Fabricius, David
David Fabricius was a Lutheran pastor and astronomer in the little town of Osteel, East Frisia (northwest Germany).
He was a correspondent of Johannes Kepler and the discoverer of the first known variable star (1596).
In December 1611, David Fabricius wrote to Michael Maestlin (Kepler's old teacher) that he did not believe the spots were on the Sun's body, although the center of their motions clearly lay in the Sun.

Fabricius, Johan Johannes, schrijver (Bandoeng (Nederlands-Indië) 24-8- 1899 - Glimmen (Gr.) 21-6- 1981).
Johan Fabricius zou zich met zijn land van geboorte en jeugd, Nederlands-Indië, sterk verbonden blijven voelen, al was hij er tot zijn veertiende jaar alles bij elkaar slechts tien jaar geweest en waren de latere bezoeken steeds van korte duur.
Na zijn Haagse academiejaren meldde Fabricius zich, tuk op avontuur, als 'Kriegsmaler' bij het Oostenrijkse leger om gedurende enkele maanden bij de in 1918 nog niet afgebroken strijd aan het Pavia-front tegen de Italianen een tekenrapportage te maken van de (in zijn sector vooral Bosnische) soldaten en het leven aan het front.

Over the next several months they tracked spots as they moved across the Sun's face and found that a dozen or so days after they had disappeared from the western edge of the Sun they reappeared on the eastern edge.
Johannes wrote a tract on sunspots, De Maculis in Sole Observatis, et Apparente earum cum Sole Conversione Narratio ("Narration on Spots Observed on the Sun and their Apparent Rotation with the Sun"), the dedication of which was dated 13 June 1611.
Sources: There is virtually no literature on David or Johannes Fabricius in English, although their names do of course appear in the standard accounts of the discovery of sunspots.

 [No title]
The first publication of telescopic solar observing was by Johannes Fabricius: De Maculis in Sole Observatis (On the Spots Observed in the Sun) is dated in the dedication 13 June, 1611, and was published a few months later, although it was not known to other observers until later.
Fabricius viewed the sun directly through his telescope, and concluded from the motion of the sunspots that the Sun was rotating.
He used his resources to develop his solar telescopes, described in two works, first the Selenographia of 1647, which is titled after the moon but includes an appendix on sunspots and a chapter on solar observing; and second the Machina Coelestis, part one of 1673, Hevelius' elaborate text on his instruments and techniques.

On 9 Mar 1611, at dawn, Johannes directed his telescope at the rising sun and saw several dark spots on it.
The brightness of the Sun's center was very painful, and the two quickly switched to a projection method by means of a camera obscura.
Johannes was the first to publish information on such observations.

 Of Galileo and Modern Sunspots
Although it was undeniable that scientific studies of sunspots had been carried out with the telescope, there was a controversy as to who was the ‘pioneer’ in the discovery of sunspots.
There is a consensus, however, that Galileo Galilei and Thomas Harriot were the first, around 1610; that Johannes and David Fabricius and Christopher Scheiner first observed them in March 1611.
The first person to publish the sunspot findings was Johann Fabricius of Wittenberg, whose booklet was printed in the summer of 1611.

From this study and from one of the eye, he suggested the use of a positive lens as an eyepiece.
He also showed that spherically shaped lenses produce imperfect images due to their shape, a problem which can be eliminated by giving lenses hyperboloidal shapes instead of spherical ones.
Johannes Hevelius (1613-1686?) of Danzig, Germany, a brewer by profession, established his reputation as an astronomer by publishing his lunar atlas Selenographia in 1647, made with telescopes of less than 12 foot focal length and 50 magnification.

Then, in December of the same year, he found that Venus, like the moon, went through phases; this provided key evidence for the Copernican system, since it suggested the Venus orbited the sun just as the moon orbited the earth.
In April of 1611, Galileo announced the existence of sunspots, confirming the observations of a German astronomer, Johannes Fabricius, and then, by charting them over a period of months, he concluded that the sun actually rotated.
As "fact," it would challenge scripture, which referred to the sun "rising" and the earth as "unmoving"–and besides, from their point of view, there was insufficient evidence to consider the theory proven.
