Dr. Margaret (Peggy) Hill is a Professor of Physics, Emerita, at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Peggy received her Bachelor’s degree in physics at the College of William and Mary in Virginia. She then taught physics and physical science at the high school and junior high level for 9 years before returning to school to get her PhD in condensed matter physics studying magnetic materials. She joined the faculty of Southeast Missouri State University in 2000 where she taught courses in physics, astronomy, and science education. In 2017 she and Dr. Mike Rogers became lead volunteers for Citizen CATE Team-040, one of the 68 national sites dedicated to taking photographs during totality to study the time evolution of the sun’s corona. Peggy’s introduction to astronomy began with a small refracting telescope through which she was able to observe the Moon, Saturn’s rings, and motion of Jupiter’s tiny moons. While living in St. Louis she was a member of the St. Louis Astronomical Society and built her own Newtonian reflecting telescope, which she still uses, through a course offered there. Just recently she and several other like-minded folk have started a new astronomy club, the Astronomical Association of Southeast Missouri, to share their interest in astronomy and love of observing the night sky. She is currently one of the co-chairs of the Missouri Eclipse Task force helping to prepare local communities for the upcoming 2024 total solar eclipse.
