Sir Patrick Moore died...

There goes part of my childhood. :(

British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore dies aged 89 | Metro UK

Aww drat. Now who is going to present "The Sky At Night!"

Very sad :(

Never heard of him. Eighty-nine years isn't bad though.

RIP Games Master! Thanks for the golden joystick!

I don't know him but it looks like he got to be a ripe old age!

Name sounds familiar... Looks like he knew how to fill a chair and wear a bitchin monocle though.

He's one of the biggest names in astronomy!

I am absolutely surprised not many people here have actually heard of him.

I don't think he's at all well-known outside of Britain unless you're in astronomy circles, sadly.

He was great at astronomy and videogames 'tis a sad day indeed :(

And in Britain he was known as being goddamn epic. And for not liking Space Raiders.

First Dave Brubeck, and now this? WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE?!
