Sir Patrick Moore death: Tributes to the astronomer  DB's head is bowed.



Stars from the world of showbusiness and science have paid tribute to Sir Patrick Moore who died on Sunday. Queen guitarist Brian May said the monocled stargazer was the "father of astronomy" in Britain. Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse said he was one of the great science communicators of our time.

he was one strange cookie and the world is a less interesting place without him. i have watched the star at night for as long as i can remember ... wait, scratch that as i cant remember what i was doing last week ... i've watched it for a long time and for all the shit you get on tv nowadays, it was good to know a simple format program could still entertain, owed wholly to moore's enthusiasm.
the only other personality that sits at the same level is Richard Attenborough.

He was different, that's for sure; but also a brilliant dude, yes, a dude.
