Strauss' Blue Danube Celebrates Music and Space

A famous song will go to space this month. It is Strauss' \"Blue Danube\", a waltz song. This is to celebrate 200 years since Strauss was born.

The Vienna Symphony will play the song. Then, it will be sent into space. The event is on May 31 and people can watch it online.

The music can change into radio signals right away. But ESA will send a recorded version. This will stop any problems from happening during the live show.

The radio signals will move very fast. They will travel at the speed of light. This is very quick, about 670 million miles each hour.

The music will pass the Moon very quickly. It will also pass Mars and Jupiter soon after. In less than one day, it will go as far as the Voyager 1 spacecraft.
