Sir Patrick Moore, the astronomer, died at his home in Selsey, Sussex on Sunday 9 December. He was 89 years old.
Born on March 4 1923, Patrick became interested in space from a very early age, joining his first astronomy society at the age of 11 and publishing his first paper on the Moon aged 13. He went on to become one of the most famous astronomers in the world and inspired generations to look up at the stars with his books and BBC television show The Sky at Night.
