Ever since I was a child, Patrick Moore was as synonymous with astronomy as the stars. It is like being told that Mars is no longer in the solar system.

He will be sorely missed.

[Tim]

An end of an era.

Infectious enthusiasm and passion for astronomy that has inspired generations.

I guess he will always hold the record for the longest running TV show, ever.

RIP Patrick, such a sad day. I only just heard about it. The contributions he has made to the world of amateur astronomy can not be under estimated, and I agree with others' here in saying that without Sky at Night, this forum probably wouldn't exist.
