So I have now just found out that Patrick Moore has died which is sad but I don't think it was that unexpected as his health was and had been in decline for some time.
It would appear that through his long life he effected lots of people in lots of ways and that he himself was a complicated man who like all of us had good and bad parts of his personality and I without the good and bad parts Patrick would not be the person he was.
I think seeing him on telly when I was younger sparked an interest in the night sky and also in science which has stayed with me to this day and I thank Patrick for that.
I never met him but from what I read he could be a fun person to be around and as he likes cats what more is there to say.
So thank you Patrick for bringing the wonder of the skies into my live and many many others.
