Institution pays tribute to Sir Patrick Moore

摘要

The ILP has paid tribute to amateur astrologer, TV presenter and author Sir Patrick Moore, who died, aged 89, at the end of last year. Sir Patrick contributed to two institution events having given the Charles Marques Memorial Lecture in the 1980s and been the speaker at the ILP (then ILE) dinner at The Savoy in 2001. 'Sir Patrick was an extraordinary personality and communicator, and inspired more than one generation to become interested in astronomy and science,' said ILP president Pete Lummis. 'He was also a great spokesperson for the reduction of light pollution.'
