Astronomer Sir Patrick Moore, host of The Sky at Night, has been admitted to hospital with heart problems.

The 83-year-old is being treated at a hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, after being admitted last night.

Sir Patrick, who was knighted in 2001, has presented The Sky at Night, the UK's longest-running TV show, since it began on the BBC in 1957.


Get well soon Patrick - The Sky at Night needs you!!

Never mind a web page, anyone know the name of the Hospital?

I'd rather post him a card!

I met him several times at astronomical events of one form or another (never xylophonic, honest!), though I doubt he'd remember me - I shared a jolly lunch with him years ago, where he graciously praised the copious amounts of 'Scottish wine' with which his glass was being regularly refilled. Single malt Scottish wine, it was...

...on second thoughts, I should send him a miniature of Scottish wine!
