Things We Saw Today: Happy Birthday, Leonard Nimoy, We Miss You

Today would have been Leonard Nimoy’s 87th birthday. And though he passed away more than two years ago, that hasn’t slowed the outpouring of tributes and well-wishes sent his way today. Twitter is full of birthday wishes for the Star Trek icon, from everyone from his family to NASA itself, not to mention his legions of fans.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Nimoy.
