SIR PATRICK MOORE: ASTRONOMER AND PRESENTER OF BBC TV'S SKY AT NIGHT
More than just a cult icon, Sir Patrick Moore is my greatest personal hero. Because of his BBC television series The Sky at Night, I've grown to have a deep love for all things Space and Astronomy ever since I started watching it over 40 years ago. The program was first broadcast on the 24th April 1957 and the fact that the show has just passed its 54th anniversary is nothing short of astonishing in this day and age. The man himself is blessed with an enthusiastic eccentricity which makes him all the more endearing to watch and listen to. The Sky at Night is a wonderful half hour tv show shown once a month where various astronomical topics are discussed with his guests. He's 88 years old now and is one of those outstanding individuals you wish could live forever.
