Tales Of Tomorrow: Frankenstein
The 16th episode of ABC’s science fiction anthology series, Tales Of Tomorrow, airs on ABC, with each episode’s opening titles proclaiming that the series is produced “in cooperation with the Science-Fiction League of America”, a collective of sci-fi writers including Isaac Asimov and Theodore Sturgeon among its members. This episode, a half-hour adaptation of Mary Shelley’s story, stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the monster and John Newland as Dr. Frankenstein; Chaney infamously mistakes the live broadcast for a rehearsal, resulting in some infamous miscues.

The distance between Deep Impact and Comet ISON at the time the 36-hour photo sequence is taken is roughly 493 million miles.
