Quotes

  • William Herschel was the first man to give a reasonably correct picture of the shape of our star-system or galaxy; he was the best telescope-maker of his time, and possibly the greatest observer who ever lived.
  • Nuclear power plants are, next to nuclear warheads themselves, the most dangerous devices that man has ever created.
  • I may be accused of being a dinosaur, but I would remind you that dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a very long time.

Alfred Patrick Caldwell Moore ,​ conocido como Patrick Moore, fue un astrónomo amateur inglés que alcanzó una alta posición en la astronomía como escritor, investigador, divulgador y presentador de televisión de la materia, y logró que aumentara el interés del público general británico por la astronomía.​ Fue autor de unos setenta libros sobre astronomía, presentador de la popular serie de la BBC The Sky at Night y una figura conocida de la televisión británica, presentando, por ejemplo, el programa televisivo GamesMaster. Tuvo fama de excéntrico, por su peculiar forma de hablar, su monóculo de marca registrada y su pasión por el xilófono.​
