Question: What was the first music broadcast into space by humans?

Answer: The first music broadcast into space by humans was Across the Universe by The Beatles. NASA transmitted the song on February 4, 2008, beaming it toward the North Star, Polaris, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the song’s recording and several major NASA milestones. It marked the first time a piece of music was intentionally sent into deep space as a radio transmission. You can listen to the original track here.
