The Vienna Philharmonic will play Johann Strauss’s “The Blue Danube” in the Austrian capital on May 31, and the concert spreads to the Voyager 1 investigation in interstellar space.
Norbert Kettner, director of tourism at Vienna, said on Monday that the deep-space antenna of the Spanish European Space Agency (ESA) will spread famous tunes. The orchestra will perform in the city’s Museum of Applied Arts (MAK).
When it was launched in 1977, the probe was in 27 music recordings by composers including Bach, Beethoven and Mozart, but not Strath’s Waltz, which has become the theme song of space after Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi film 2001: Space Expedition. ”
Voyager 1 has a gold-plated audio-visual disc on board, which includes photos and information from the earth and various recordings including music. What is done is if the detection was discovered by an alien civilization.
The event is part of the Vienna tourism campaign marking Strauss’ 200th birthday. ESA celebrates its 50th anniversary on May 31.
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are now about 25 billion kilometers from Earth, far beyond our solar system. The signal is expected to take about 23 hours to reach Voyager 1.
Organizers say whether the signal can be received elsewhere depends on the technical capabilities of any civilization received.
