Astronomer Sir Patrick Moore dies, aged 89
British astronomer and broadcaster Sir Patrick Moore has died at his home at the age of 89, his friends and colleagues have said.
Sir Patrick presented the monthly BBC programme The Sky At Night, first broadcast on 24 April 1957 - making him the longest-running presenter of the same television show in the world |
Good innings, but I'll miss The Sky At Night. A Great British Eccentric.

Oh no! There I was the other day, thinking the old boy was bomb-proof.
He will be sadly missed. |

OMG!
Just yesterday I posted:
And so, it seems, it was. 
(But I expect Sky at Night will continue - Chris Lintott can handle it just fine.) |

I am sorry to hear this.
| Quote: | | Sir Patrick reckoned that he was the only person to have met the first man to fly, Orville Wright, the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, and the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. He outlived them all. |
Shouldn't that be Vladamir Ilyushin. |

| According to Mark Wade, editor of the space history Web site Encyclopedia Astronautica, "The entire early history of the Soviet manned space program has been declassified and we have piles of memoirs of cosmonauts, engineers, etc., who participated. We know who was in the original cosmonaut team, who never flew, was dismissed, or was killed in ground tests. Ilyushin is not one of them. |

| He could be pretty reactionary if you got him talking on the wrong subject, but he was one of the first celebrities I was able to identify - read his sci-fi as a kid, saw him on The Goodies, and lamented The Sky at Night was on so late I could never stay up to watch it. Self taught, I believe. Great British eccentric is a good way of putting it. RIP Sir Patrick. |
