Across the Universe
In 2008, Lewis proposed to NASA that the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" be transmitted towards the North Star, Polaris, via the Deep Space Network antenna. The transmission was timed to coincide with celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of NASA, the 50th anniversary of the launch of America's first satellite, "Explorer 1", and the 40th anniversary of the Beatles recording John Lennon's composition "Across the Universe".
