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.

Sir Patrick Alfred Caldwell-Moore, conosciuto come Patrick Moore (Pinner, 4 marzo 1923 – Selsey, 9 dicembre 2012), è stato un astronomo inglese amatoriale, che ha raggiunto in astronomia uno status importante come scrittore, ricercatore, commentatore radio e presentatore televisivo al riguardo, ed è accreditato di aver fatto crescere più di ogni altro l'interesse per l'astronomia tra gli inglesi.
