The Beatles in Outer Space

On Monday, February 3, NASA will be sending the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" directly into outer space towards Polaris.  It will take at least 431 years for the star to receive the music.  A very long wait.

The occasion is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first space mission: The launching of Explorer 1, a satellite.

See NY Times article, "Nasa Says, 'Hello, Universe.  Meet the Beatles.'"
