1816: On 7 July 1816, Rudolf Wolf was born.
Wolf was a Swiss astronomer and astronomical historian. Wolf's main contribution was the discovery of the eleven-year sunspot cycle. He was also the co-discoverer of its connection with geomagnetic activity on Earth.
In 1849 he devised a system now known as Wolf's sunspot numbers. This system is still in use for studying solar activity by counting sunspots and sunspot groups.
