History

''BBC Sky at Night'' was launched in 2005. The first issue, which featured Patrick Moore on the cover and included a copy of Moore's Moon map as a free gift, sold out and back issues are no longer available. Copies of Issue 1 have since sold for over £100 on eBay. In April 2007, the magazine celebrated the 50th anniversary of '' The Sky at Night'' on BBC TV with a specially-themed issue, which was produced in two different covers. Patrick Moore was an editorial advisor serving as Editor Emeritus, along with Chris Lintott, serving as Contributing Editor respectively.
