I used to love watching him on "the sky at night" helped to map the moon for the moon landings.
RIP a true eccentric, intelligent man.

Ahhh no! FFS... I mean I know people have to die but he was a bit of a leg-end for me. One of the first books I read was one of his as a kid and he inspired me to learn about constellations, and arguably single-handedly taught me the order of the planets.

RIP big man.
