Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Space junkies were in for a treat when Australia’s night skies lit up with two meteor showers on the very same night. However, Alpha Capricornids and Delta Aquariids simultaneously peaking on July 30 wasn’t the brightest or fastest celestial show you’ll see this winter.

Considering Space.com has lauded Perseids as “one of the best shooting star displays of the year,” we think it’s worth camping out for.
