Anomalocaris Posted July 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2015 A group of developers has built an eye-popping simulator that shows how many light years our music has traveled, and what you’d hear if you were billions of miles from Earth. http://lightyear.fm/ Today, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will finally let us see what the surface of Pluto looks like up close. And thanks to a new interactive website called Lightyear.fm, we already know what Plutonians are listening to: either “Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap or “Sugar” by Maroon 5. http://www.wired.com/2015/07/stunning-sim-shows-far-hit-songs-traveled-space/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted July 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2015 That's a nice simulator with every era of music carefully placed into the graph but I wonder at what distance a radio signal in space could truly go without decaying or become blocked by space debris or comets or asteroids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Zalmoxis, I'd love to know how audible the signal would be at these distances due to decaying. i wonder if anything out there is listening, aware.

BeastieRunner Posted July 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I got to David Bowie's "Fame" before I had to start over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
