cosmic dave Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yes I agree with everyone else a very sad day, its kind of like losing a member of your own family isn't it, I've been watching him since 1985 when I first got into astronomy, a great loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Astroplodder Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 GA All Very sad news about the passing of Sir Patrick Moore today. I never met him but, like many I suspect, his enthusiasm, knowledge and literary skills certainly gave me a sound grounding in Asronomy. This was especially true when I was a boy: born as I was in 1950, "popular" science writing wasn't very common and Patrick changed that imo. I am sure we all owe a debt to him and Sky at Night - the programme hepresented fro 1957. Genya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Very sad news, I was inspired by him as a child. This has some nice pictures and is worth a read... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2245405/Sir-Patrick-Moore-dies-89-Broadcaster-passed-away-peacefully-home-close-friends-cat-Ptolemy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
