Welcome to The Night Sky: A Podcast on the Eclipses Comes to Kerrville a podcast which celebrates that for two days over the next 15 months, Kerrville, TX will be the Eclipse Capitol of the World. This podcast, hosted by Andrew Gay and Tom Fox will celebrate these two eclipses and discuss how the town of Kerrville will prepare for an influx of a quarter million (or more) visitors. This podcast is produced by the Texas Hill Country Podcast Network. Today, Tom takes a solo turn to visit with eclipse chaser and tracker Mike Zeiler. Mike Zeiler is a seasoned expert in geographic information systems (GIS) with a particular focus on smart mapping and analytical capabilities. His passion for astronomy has led him to chase solar eclipses since 1991, witnessing numerous total, annular, and partial eclipses. This passion has also driven him to create eclipse maps and establish the renowned website, Great American Eclipse. Zeiler's perspective on the 2024 eclipse preparation is centered on strategic planning and maximizing the chances of a successful viewing experience. He emphasizes the importance of selecting a location with favorable weather conditions and good mobility options in the event of patchy clouds on eclipse morning. His approach to eclipse chasing involves meticulous preparation and a willingness to travel to different parts of the world to witness these celestial events. His dedication to his passion is evident as he looks forward to upcoming eclipses in Spain in 2026 and 2027.
