Jonathan Harris, made famous by his role as the villainous Dr. Smith in the ’60s sci-fi classic Lost In Space dies due to complications from a blood clot in his heart. Harris’ career featured some notable film work, chiefly in the area of voicing cartoon characters (including, most recently, A Bug’s Life), but most of his career was spent on television, with appearances in golden-age anthology shows like Lights Out, General Electric Theater, The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery, as well as other classics like Bonanza, Zorro, Bewitched, and even Fantasy Island and Love, American Style.

Nearing the end of its fuel supply, NASA’s Galileo probe passes one of Jupiter’s innermost moons, tiny, asteroid-like Amalthea, at a distance of less than 100 miles, coming closer to Jupiter and its belts of intense radiation than ever before. This final flyby of a Jovian moon is a punishing one for Galileo: the failure of Galileo’s main antenna dish after its 1989 launch has forced the robotic explorer to store its findings on tape for later playback to Earth at a low bit rate, but in this case roughly half of Galileo’s measurements of the highly charged environment near Jupiter are lost to radiation-induced failure of the tape recording system. The intense radiation also causes enough faults in Galileo’s main computer that the probe puts itself in a failsafe mode and “sleeps” until further commands are received from Earth hours later.
