Sir Patrick Moore: 1923-2012

[Vawmataw]

I love astronomy, and I know few astronomers, but one is yet alive... or not. I was searching on Twitter Sir Patrick Moore's account, when I learned a bad news.

Today, on December 9th, 2012, the British astronomer Sir Patrick Moore died at 89, after BBC News. He has been the host of the famous TV show The sky at night (on BBC) since its creation on 1957 and a writer. I possess one of his books, about observations of the night sky by naked eye. That's why I know him and I pay homage to him.

Some words in Na'vi, in homage of Sir Patrick Moore:

Ngari txe'lan sì tìomum 'ìyì'awn txonä tawmì, vewng ngati 'Rrtal sì Eywal. Hahaw nìmwey.
Your heart and knowledge will stay in the night sky, Earth and Eywa will take care of you. Sleep peacefully.

He was a great man in Great Britain's astronomy. Even if Sir Patrick Moore had made his time, I have respect for him. It's sad to learn about this, but, sadly, that's life. If you have any comments (about my Na'vi or Sir Moore), write them below.

My heart by coming condolences.

I like astronomy to - and I think it is a loss for mankind.

[Tìtstewan]

That makes me sad to know, we lost a great man.

[Vawmataw]

My heart by coming condolences.

I like astronomy to - and I think it is a loss for mankind.

I also give my condolences to his family, but what I wrote translate that.

Oh this is so sad for us astronomy lovers. I did not know that he passed away.
This is sad news for the world who now have lost someone amazing.

Rest in peace Sir Patrick Moore! <3
Eywa ngahu!

I did not know of Sir Patrick Moore, but this indeed, lu nì'aw keftxoa fì'u nìtxan.

It's sad ... I once went to a lecture at the London Natural History Museum where he introduced the guest speaker, Monica M. Grady on the subject, "So does life exist on other planets?".

I'll miss him on our screens
