Donald Miller has been interested in science and the stars ever since he had a night out with his father at age 6 looking at the sky and discussing the possibilities of the universe. He followed every aspect of the Apollo and subsequent programs. He saved up his money as a young kid to purchase an 8-inch reflector telescope and later as an adult moved on to even larger telescopes. He can frequently be found in his backyard or at star parties looking at the stars and sharing his love for space with the community. He has been a member of the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers, moved to Pennsylvania and joined the Chester County Astronomical Society, traveled to Wyoming to see the total solar eclipse, traveled to northern Sweden to see the northern lights, and many national parks for their dark skies, plus great hiking. He is retired from a career in pharmaceutical research and marketing. One of his current activities is participating in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific’s Project Astro and thereby bringing space science to grade school children.
