A classic piece of music is about to be broadcast into space at the speed of light. The classical work 'By the Beautiful Blue Danube,' by Johann Strauss II, will be broadcast into space on Saturday. Officials say this will also correct a mistake in 1977 when Strauss' waltz failed to be included on the Voyager Golden Records. The golden records were added to both Voyagers with a message to extraterrestrials who might find the spacecrafts as they journeyed through interstellar space. This new mission is dubbed 'The Waltz Into Space.' Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps. And click here to stream Channel 9 Eyewitness News live.

Osceola County has released a statement on the delay to the groundbreaking of the Pulse tribute from artist JEFRË. The county believes that with the upcoming final tour of Pulse nightclub from survivors, the groundbreaking should be delayed so visitors do not need to choose between the two events. The county announced it will move the groundbreaking ceremony to October, which is LGBTQ+ History Month.
