(IAU Directions) MILLER.--One of a group of three moderately large ring-plains, of which Nasireddin is a member, near the central meridian in S. latitude 39 deg. Its massive border rises nearly 11,000 feet above the floor, on which stands a central peak. Miller is about 36 miles in diameter.

- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Westfall, 2000: 3.55 km
- Viscardy, 1985: 3.5 km

- Central peak composition: A & GNTA1 (Tompkins & Pieters, 1999)
Nomenclature
- Named for William Allen Miller FRS (December 17, 1817 – September 30, 1870), a British scientist. Although primarily a chemist, the scientific contributions for which Miller is mainly remembered today are in spectroscopy and astrochemistry, new fields in his time.
- On Fauth's 1932 sectional map of "Hörbiger" (Deslandres) -- reproduced on page 269 of Ashbrook (in a chapter reprinted from Sky and Telescope, October 1965, p. 202) -- the name Miller is assigned to the IAU's Lexell A (a 34 km crater to the northwest of the IAU's Miller). In addition to Miller, all satellite feature letters given by Fauth in the upper left quadrant of this map differ from the current IAU names (although they agree elsewhere). - JimMosher JimMosher
