A new auditorium at Texas A&M University has been named after renowned astrophysicist Professor Stephen Hawking.
Professor Hawking attended a dedication ceremony at the university, about 100 miles north-west of Houston. He first travelled to A&M in 1995 and has visited regularly since 2003.
Professor Hawking greeted the dedication ceremony with "Howdy", the university's official greeting, in the synthesized voice created by the computer on his wheelchair.
