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 Deslandres]) -- reproduced on page 269 of [/Ashbrook%2C%201984 Ashbrook] (in a chapter reprinted from Sky and Telescope, October 1965, p. 202) -- the name Miller is assigned to the IAU's [/Lexell Lexell] A (a 34 km crater to the northwest of the IAU's Miller). In addition to Miller, all [/satellite%20feature 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
• It might be intereresting to add Dayton Clarence Miller (1866-1941), American physicist, astronomer, acoustician, and accomplished amateur flautist.- DannyCaes DannyCaes Mar 21, 2015
• Also very interesting to know: Stanley Lloyd Miller (1930-2007), Jewish-American chemist who made landmark experiments in the origin of life (the Urey-Miller experiment).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Mar 23, 2015
