Michael Keefe is a Finance/Accounting professional by day and an amateur astronomer by night, where his real passion lies. Mike’s been an active member of the Raleigh Astronomy Club (RAC) since 2006, observing the night sky since 2003 but his interest in space was sparked as a child watching the first Space Shuttle launch. With an eye towards educating others in the field of astronomy, in 2014 Mike achieved the Master of Astronomy Outreach Award by the Astronomical League for volunteering over 250 hours of public outreach. In 2018, Mike was accepted into the NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassadors corp. in order to further expand his outreach and education opportunities. Mike has presented on a broad range of topics covering amateur astronomy and space exploration. Mike has also supported many educational events and public observing sessions through museums, clubs and schools as well as large events through partners such as NC Museum of Natural Science, North Carolina State-Wide Star Party and The Morehead Planetarium & Science Center. Mike's astronomical pursuits focus around EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy) and completing Astronomical League observing programs.
