Rest in Peace... Sir Patrick Moore

Just completed the blog about Sir Patrick Moore's visit to Singapore in Dec 1989:

Hope it will bring back fond memories of this great promoter of astronomy, especially for those who were fortunate to attend those public lectures in Singapore.

Thanks! Glad you did. Credits go to the journalists who wrote the articles. I just copy and paste only.

oh... didn't know he has passed on. still vaguely remembered when he was at British Council giving a talk. brought along his <The Astronomy Encyclopedia> that night, intended for his signature, but in the end was too shy/timid to approach.

Thanks to Beng Yew for giving me permission to share this rare photo publicly. Hope it will bring back some fond memories of this great man and make us ponder what can still be done to further promote astronomy in Singapore.
