Title: Sir Patrick Moore
Post by: captain_obvious on December 09, 2012, 08:33:34 AM

Sir Patrick Moore (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20657939) has died.  I honestly thought that guy would go on forever.

Watched him in a Morecambe and Wise sketch a couple of days ago. Awesome guy.

Fond memories of sitting late at night with my Dad in the 70's and 80's watching the Sky at Night, between Sir Patrick and the late great Carl Sagan my imagination was forever fueled by "what does the cosmos hold for us"
RIP big man and may the universe now be your playground

He was great.  I have a couple of astronomy books written by him. Excellent books.
