Stephen Hawking's voice has
been beamed into space as a "message of peace and hope" to the
universe as his ashes were laid to rest on Friday. A speech from the late
physicist was set to an original score by composer Vangelis, who wrote music
for films including "Chariots of Fire" and "Blade Runner."
The European Space Agency
beamed it from its satellite dish in Cebreros, Spain, to the nearest black
hole, which is called 1A 0620-00. It is part of a binary star system 3,500
light years from earth.
The entire piece is about six and a half minutes long, with a voiceover by Hawking in the middle, European Space Agency senior adviser Mark McCaughrean told CNN.
It isn't clear that exactly what
the voiceover will say. The Vangelis piece will be played to the guests at the Friday's
service, and be released to the public at an unspecified date, CNN reported.
Hawking's family, friends,
and 1,000 members of the public attended a thanksgiving service at Westminster
Abbey, London, which started at midday local time on Friday.
The service featured
readings from people including actor Benedict Cumberbatch and astronaut Tim
Peake.
At the service, Hawking's
ashes were interred between fellow British scientists Sir Isaac Newton and
Charles Darwin. A memorial stone with one of Hawking's most famous equations
was also placed on top of his grave. Stephen hawking will always be remembered by
the world as a great scientist.
