I'm sure most of you already know this, but Stephen Hawking died. He might have not been that relevant in the actual scientific field of late, but he is one of the most recognizable scientists of the last 100 years and had a great secondary career as a science communicator. I still have The Brief History of Time in some box, which I got for my 20th birthday.
