Title: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: Sheriff Fatman on December 09, 2012, 01:24:15 PM A man who's presence of TV never seemed to wane, no matter what his age.
Regardless of whether you had any interest in his subject matter, you couldn't help but be enthused by his love for it. And he played a mean xylophone too! Rest in peace. Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: DaveShoelace on December 09, 2012, 01:25:27 PM And he was the Gamesmaster. Legend.

Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: TightEnd on December 09, 2012, 04:31:09 PM very sad news. A true legend and is resonsible for a lot of astronomy hobbies!
Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: AndrewT on December 09, 2012, 04:49:55 PM very sad news. A true legend and is resonsible for a lot of astronomy hobbies! More than that, I'd say that just about everyone now working in astronomy/astrophysics in this country first got into it though watching The Sky At Night as a kid. Patrick's failing health in recent years meant his role on the show had been reduced to essentially nothing more than mascot (he could barely talk) so the show can continue with established presenters. Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: JK on December 09, 2012, 05:24:21 PM An incredible man. A very overused word, but truly a legend. RIP
Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: kinboshi on December 09, 2012, 06:31:18 PM He is to astronomy what David Attenborough is to natural history.
Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: Kev B on December 09, 2012, 07:23:22 PM RIP the great man.
Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: LonOhRay on December 10, 2012, 02:29:21 AM He is to astronomy what David Attenborough is to natural history. Even more so, I'm not at all clued up on astronomy and of course it doesn't get as much coverage. But what other 'names' are there in astronomy in the 21st century? Can imagine science classes in schools around the country/world going to be putting more emphasis on astronomy in the coming weeks. RIP Title: Re: RIP Sir Patrick Moore Post by: Cf on December 10, 2012, 12:17:19 PM I'll always remember him as The GamesMaster.
