HISTORY was created last Sunday at the BAFTAs. Buzz Aldrin of Apollo 11 fame presented our own Patrick Moore with an award for his tireless work presenting The Sky At Night. It was particularly poignant for me because that programme instilled in me a life-long excitement about astronomy. I am but one of many.
The Sky At Night offered a layman's hands-on approach towards science to inspire tomorrow's scientists, philosophers and pioneers.
