I'm afraid I wasn't aware he was still alive- save through his books. Yet his death saddens me, amongst the last solitary pioneers (these days it seems all committees and councils), without whom Jodrell Bank wouldn't exist. and the astronomical field would be far different.

A fitting legacy.

He was a fabulous man, a giant in his field. And we get the joy of seeing his telescope all the time.

Oh, yeah. A long and wonderful life. I do hope he was aware of Curiosity before he went.

Indeed.

I can see that telescope every time I leave the house, so long as it's not raining/foggy.
