Sir Patrick Moore dies

Sad. Patrick Moore died today, aged 89.

I remember seeing the 700th edition of The Sky at Night last year.  And I remember many from the early 70s too, when I first got interested in astronomy.  I read his science fiction as well as his books about space and astronomy.  Locally (for me at the time), he helped to found the Astronomical Society of Haringey  -which is still going.

He will be much missed.
