He has been editor-in-chief of <i><a href="/wiki/Astronomy_(magazine)" title="Astronomy (magazine)">Astronomy</a></i> magazine since 2002. He is author, coauthor, or editor of 23 books on science and American history and is known for having founded a magazine on astronomical observing, <i>Deep Sky Monthly</i>, when he was a 15-year-old high school student.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Eicher is also a historian, having researched and written extensively about the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Professional_career">Professional career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=David_J._Eicher&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Professional career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Eicher began his career at AstroMedia Corp., the magazine's publisher, in September 1982 as assistant editor of <i><a href="/wiki/Astronomy_(magazine)" title="Astronomy (magazine)">Astronomy Magazine</a></i> and editor of <i>Deep Sky</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1985, Kalmbach Publishing Co.,<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the Milwaukee publisher of <i>Model Railroader</i>, <i>Trains</i>, and other titles, bought AstroMedia Corp. Eicher's role in the magazine deepened as he worked on many science stories as well as observing pieces and by decade's end, the company moved to <a href="/wiki/Waukesha,_Wisconsin" title="Waukesha, Wisconsin">Waukesha, Wisconsin</a>, near Milwaukee, and by that time Eicher was promoted to associate editor.<sup id="cite_ref-Astronomy_Magazine_History_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Astronomy_Magazine_History-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He published his first books, <i>The Universe from Your Backyard</i> (a compilation of deep-sky observing stories first published in <i>Astronomy</i>), and <i>Deep-Sky Observing with Small Telescopes</i>, an anthology about clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. In 1992, the company decided to cease publishing <i>Deep Sky</i>. Although Eicher has stated that he enjoyed editing this smaller magazine, it became clear that to progress further on <i>Astronomy</i>, he had to give up the smaller journal. At its peak, however, and at the time of its discontinuance, <i>Deep Sky</i> swelled to a circulation of 14,000. Within a span of six weeks in 1996, Eicher was promoted successively to senior editor and then to managing editor. After six years as managing editor, in 2002 Eicher became the sixth editor-in-chief of <i>Astronomy Magazine</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Astronomy_Magazine_Editor_in_Chief_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Astronomy_Magazine_Editor_in_Chief-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Promotion_of_astronomy">Promotion of astronomy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=David_J._Eicher&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Promotion of astronomy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div><p> Eicher frequently travels to speak on astronomy or view solar eclipses with tour groups.
