Eclipse Expert
Geographer and eclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler witnessed his first total eclipse in 1991. 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 Michael established GreatAmericanEclipse.com. Michael also co-authored “Atlas of Solar Eclipses: 2020 to 2045.” He 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.
Coming up next: Michael Zeiler is an Eclipse expert on our 17-day Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse voyage from August 3rd to 19th, 2026 on Ocean Explorer.
