To British television viewers, the name 'Patrick Moore' has been
synonymous with Astronomy and Space Travel since he first appeared
on The Sky at Night in 1957. To amateur astronomers he has been a
source of inspiration, joy, humour and even an eccentric role model
since that time. Most people know that his 55 years of presenting
The Sky at Night is a world record, but what was he really like in
person? What did he do away from the TV cameras, in his
observatory, and within the British Astronomical Association, the
organisation that inspired him as a youngster? Also, precisely what
did he do during the War Years, a subject that has always been
shrouded in mystery? Martin Mobberley, a friend of Patrick Moore's
for 30 years, and a former President of the British Astronomical
Association, has spent ten years exhaustively researching Patrick's
real life away from the TV cameras. His childhood, RAF service,
tireless voluntary work for astronomy and charity and his endless
book writing are all examined in detail. His astronomical
observations are also examined in unprecedented detail, along with
the battles he fought along the way and his hatred of bureaucracy
and political correctness. No fan of Sir Patrick Moore can possibly
live without this work on their bookshelf!
