At the age of 89 the great Astronomer has passed away bless him.
I've watched The sky at night for many years, he was so enthusiastic about the stars, and a very talented Xylophone player too.

R.I.P Patrick.

    I'm genuinely saddened by his death. He seemed a charming man despite his own personal tragedy losing the love of his life during the war. I'm glad he had a good innings and died peacefully at home.

    Gosh, he was one of those people I thought would always be about (which I know is silly). I remember him from my childhood and that was some time ago. RIP Sir P Moore and thank you for trying to teach me about the stars. DD
