Music light years away from Earth

[Anomalocaris]

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.

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.

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.

That's a cool project.

awesome find. 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.

I got to David Bowie's "Fame" before I had to start over again.
