The Beatles are expanding their listening audience…by about 431 light years. NASA will be beaming their song “Across the Universe” in celebration of several anniversaries. The song itself is 40 years old, the Deep Space Network has been around for 45 years, and NASA is having it’s 50th birthday this year. Since Polaris is 431 light years away, it will take the song 431 years to reach it. Perhaps there will be an alien with an ear to the sky who will hear the song in the year 2439.
