This is not meant to be the complete list of space-y tunes, as there are likely millions out there, but based on our research we have found quite a few songs to get you started.

'The Blue Danube' - Johann Strauss II (but only for spaceship dockings).

'Deluxe Men in Space' - Man or Astro-Man?.

'The Planets Bend Between Us' - Snow Patrol.

'2,000 Light Years from Home” - The Rolling Stones.

'Puttin' People on the Moon' - Drive-By Truckers.

'A Space Boy Dream' - Belle & Sebastian.

'Star Trek: First Contact' theme - Jerry Goldsmith (one writer played it while walking down the aisle).

staffers came up with a huge list of other songs they enjoy, which we've put in order of preference. The distinctions between meteors, meteorites and meteoroids are discussed within. Delicate-voiced indie/folk darling Joanna Newsom wrote the song “Emily” about her sister, an astronomer.
