ec0bcc8e62 Add entry for birthday of John Towner Williams (08 Feb 1932). He's most
well-known for his movie scores, which include Star Wars, E.T., Close
Encounters of the Third Kind, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones (all
three), and many, many more.  He was also the 19th conductor of the
Boston Pops.

042ade9674 Get pedantic about Pioneer's achievements. It was Pioneer 10
in 1983 that past Neptune's orbit.  That does not, however, mean that it
left the solar system since the solar system is defined by the heliosphere.
