Nicola Cabibbo, Italian particle physicist, died August 16 at the age of 75.
Cabibbo was famous for helping to explain the effects of the weak force on quarks; many people believe he should have shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics, which was shared by two scientists for very similar work. Just last week, he was awarded the Dirac Medal, one of the greatest honors in theoretical physics.

That's a particular shame as I always enjoyed the Star Gazer ("Keep Looking Up") spots he did. Here's a good example of one from July 2008. (Now that I think about it, he's always sounded like he has had some respiratory issues.)
