Who discovered Wolf 359?
For me, it looks like Max Wolf discovered the movements of the Wolf 359, see the (German) original publication from 1918 &quot;Zwei Sterne mit großer Eigenbewegung in Leo,&quot; but he does not mention which previous observations existed:

Fun fact: The object was observed from Königstuhl, a peak next to the city of Heidelberg, Germany. That was back in the days when light pollution was not an issue yet.
