From Liudmila's blog, Diary, I read : February 4, 2008, at 00:00 GMT (7:00 p.m. New York /EST), NASA will beam the Beatles’ “Across The Universe” to the star Polaris, 431 light years away (that’s 431 years travel at the speed of light before our all-time favorite Beatles song reaches the 2.5 quadrillion miles away star). This is being done to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song, the 45th anniversary of NASA’s Deep Space Network, an international network of antennas that supports missions to explore the universe, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. At her suggestion, I am posting the song, Across the Universe, in all my blogs, here at Beautiful World and at Dhamma Delights, Dragon Descendants- A Green World, Stepping out - A PA Blog, Travel Pangs and Our Impermanent World! Do visit!
