British Astronomical Association

70 Years A Member

On Saturday 18th December the Association marked Sir Patrick Moore's 70 years of membership. Sir Patrick was presented with an Orrery by BAA President Tom Boles during the BAA Christmas meeting.

A video of the presentation is available on the link below (courtesy Nick James). The video lasts just over six minutes and the size is 12MB. This will take about half an hour to download over a phone connection but it should play in real time if you have broadband.
