I met Sir Patrick at his home in Selsey. My friends and I were driving around the area in 2001 and one of us just decided to knock on his door, and he invited us in for tea and cakes. We returned on several occasions, the final time being in November 2008 when he invited us to his annual New Year's Eve party, but alas we couldn't make it - something I very much regret. He was a wonderfully warm, funny, yet serious man and very accommodating. One of the treasured English eccentrics.
Sir Patrick Moore learned me real Astronomy and he taught me that you don't need a degree on astronomy to become an astronomer! Sir Patrick Moore was an amateur astronomer and yet he was an expert on astronomy!!! He taught thousands to look up and study the night sky! It doesn't take a degree to become an astrophotographer who gets great shots of the milky way the stars and constellations! I'm not good at maths but that doesn't stop me learning about string theory and multiverse. He was the real star of astronomy!!!
Even though Sir Patrick Moore's " SKY AT NIGHT " videos are free to watch on UA-cam , I would like to buy perhaps a DVD box set of his BBC Tv program if such was available . I love astronomy and stargazing under a relaxing night sky when I'm not doing my other hobby of guitar and songwriting. Patrick Moore made astronomy fun and his humor so entertaining. He is somewhat similar to today's Neil degrasse Tyson who continues to make astro physics and astronomy attractive to many novice astronomer hobbyists .
Just Picked Up The Book "The Unfolding Universe" By Sir Patrick Moore 1923-2012 Great Book Beautiful Photos And Illustrations Of The Planets And Stars! Highly Recommended!😃👴📓👨🚀🚀🛰🪐🔴🌕🌑🌌🇬🇧

YES INDEED HE WAS ASTRONOMER, BROADCASTER, ECCENTRIC AND AS WELL ECLECTIC…. HAVE A NICE DAY…!!!
I never ever realised he was such a funny character.
I thought he was some stuffy accademic.
Well I got that one wrong
Truly an amazing man,there will never be anyone who will ever come close to him ever just wish i could of meet him
I watched all of this with tears of joy in my eyes. Fantastic man!
RIP Sir Patrick, what a witty, humble, passionate astronomer! In one word: awesome! :D
When did he die??
Astronomy isn't something you learn. It's something you're born with.
