"Offering fascinating insight into a man who has significantly raised the profile of astronomy among the public, this autobiography of Patrick Moore spans 80 years of social history with wit and charm. Moore describes his research to map the moon, which began prior to the NASA Apollo missions during his undergraduate years at Cambridge University, and was eventually used by Russia to correlate the first Lunik 3 pictures. Moore also chronicles his work on BBC's The Sky at Night, where he began as the presenter in April 1957 and continues today, the show having landed in the record books as the world's longest-running TV series with the same presenter."

He has been knighted by the Queen of England and received Order of the British Empire (OBE) and the Commander of the British Empire (CBE) awards for his work as the longtime host of the popular BBC television program The Sky at Night.
