Sir Patrick Moore

  “William Herschel was arguably the greatest of all astronomical observers. Our Herschel Museum in New King Street has been set up both to honour his memory, and to encourage people to take an interest in the sky. Do join us; you will find much to interest you, and you will make many new friends.
