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. | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Astronomy Popularization; Astronomy on TV; BBC Sky at Night; Biography of Sir Patrick Moore; British Ast | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-00609-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-00608-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-00609-3 | | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013 |
