About the Author

Sir Patrick Moore was the author of more than 100 books and presenter of the world's longest-running television series, The Sky at Night. He was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (Jackson-Gwilt medalist), a member of the International Astronomical Union, and holder of the Goodacre Medal from the British Astronomical Association, of which he was president from 1982-84 before becoming Life Vice-President. In 1967 he was awarded the OBE for his services to astronomy, in 1988 the CBE, and in 2001 he received a knighthood. Sadly, Sir Patrick Moore died in December 2012. Wil Tirion is an internationally known celestial cartographer.
