Stephen Hawking Tribute CD by Vangelis

Greek composer Vangelis created an original piece of music for the Stephen Hawking memorial service on 15 June 2018. As a tribute from ESA, this music, featuring Prof. Hawking's voice, was beamed into space by ESA’s ESTRACK ground station at Cebreros in Spain at the time his ashes were interred at Westminster Abbey in London. The broadcast was beamed towards the nearest black hole to Earth, 1A 0620–00, which lives in a binary system with an orange dwarf star.
