Shogun Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 That's a shame he seems to have been around for ever I can remember being fascinated by his stories of planets and stars when I was a kid he will be sadly missed RIP Patrick Moore.

Alcoblog Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Sir Patrick said in an interview last year: 'I’m near the end of my life now. 'It doesn’t worry me. I don’t think it ends here, you see. If it did, the entire thing would be pointless, but the universe is not pointless. No, this isn’t the end. We go on to the next stage. I shall be interested to see what it is.' 'Who knows? It might be somewhere I can learn to bat decently. sadly eccentrics like patrick are thin on the ground now in the uk, I agree with his belief that " life is just a stepping stone " to another stage I saw the same interview ... I said to my G/F at the same time, that it was obvious he knew that the end of his days were very near ... very sad. No need to use the 'Hihi' emoticon here. The poor man dedicated his life to astronomy after losing the love of his life ... grieving for over sixty years. Such a sad loss. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I saw the same interview ... I said to my G/F at the same time, that it was obvious he knew that the end of his days were very near ... I think aged 88 at the time most people would think the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Oh dear, I loved Patrick Moore, he was part of my childhood and sparked my interest in astronomy. A great eccentric and enthusiast. A one-off. We won't see many more like him. Hope he's on his great new adventure. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
