50 Years of The Sky At Night

The Sky At Night celebrated it’s 50th Anniversary with a party at Sir Patrick Moore’s home in Selsey on the 24th of April this year. Many famous astronomers both amateur and professional from all over the world came to celebrate as well as Dr Piers Sellers (NASA Astronaut) who compered the party. I was lucky enough to be invited too and I can say that it was a very fitting tribute to Sir Patrick and the Sky At Night team. Images © Will Gater 2007
