An avid eclipse chaser, David has crossed the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia to stand in the moon’s shadow and witness nature’s grandest spectacle: a total eclipse of the sun. Michael Zeiler Trained geographer Michael Zeiler, who witnessed his first total eclipse in 1991, was motivated to shift his focus to eclipse cartography while writing his 2009 book, Modeling Our World , upon realizing how advanced GIS technology could be applied to publish new, high-precision eclipse maps. After creating his first eclipse map for the total solar eclipse of July 22, 2009, Michael launched the web site eclipse- maps.com in 2010 to showcase new and historic eclipse maps. A few years later, in response to the growing worldwide interest in eclipse-watching, Michael established GreatAmericanEclipse.com in 2014. He also co-authored “Atlas of Solar Eclipses: 2020 to 2045.” Zeiler is a member of the International Astronomical Union Working Group on Solar Eclipses and is honored to have the asteroid (53253) Zeiler named after him.
