Abstract
- This paper examines claims that the explorer Henry Hudson saw sunspots with the naked eye during sea voyages in both 1590 & 1609. It is argued that there is no evidence to link Hudson with the 1590 observations, and that the presumed sunspot of 1609 - accepted by some leading experts in the history of solar activity-is based on a false premise.
