Sir Patrick Moore passes.

Maybe Little known across the pond, the maps he made of the lunar surface were used in the planning of the
moon landings by NASA.

And quite possibly the only person to have met Orville Wright, Neil Armstrong and Einstein.

Godspeed Sir Patrick.

I'm with you Pete, Sir Patrick Moore was an inspiration to so many British youngsters helping to discover what the universe and especially the solar sytem is about. I just hope they keep the "Sky at Night" series running...it's been going since 1957!

Very sad loss. I read somewhere that his TV program ran for 55 years!
