Drawing on his vast knowledge and direct experience of most of the
key events in astronomy and space exploration during this century,
Patrick Moore takes a sideways look at the historical reports and
contemporary thought behind a wide range of astronomical topics.
The Wandering Astronomer presents his personal accounts of the
towering characters of 20th-century astronomy, intriguing facts
about puzzling astronomical phenomena, and amusing stories about
the quirkier side of astronomy and space exploration. This
collection of essays covers everything from the case of vanishing
planets to UFOs over Selsey. Entertaining and informative, it will
be enjoyable reading for both seasoned and amateur astronomers as
well as general science readers. About the Author Author and
broadcaster Patrick Moore is a lunar specialist who makes
observations from his home in Selsey on most clear nights. He has
written more than 100 books, and for the past 43 years he has
presented BBC TV's Sky at Night program without missing a single
episode. Moore served in the RAF during WWII and has been involved
in astronomy since he was a boy. In 1967 he was awarded the OBE for
his services to astronomy, and in 1988 he received the CBE. He also
recently received a knighthood in the New Years Honours list.
