German physician Johannes Fabricius, who devoted much of his spare time to astronomical observations, observes sunspots through a telescope for the first time on March 9, 1611 when working with his father, David, using a camera obscura technique to safely observe these spots. Their findings published later contributed to early astronomy studies and demonstrated the Sun's rotation.
