NASA Baffled by Unexplained Force Acting on Space Probes

Mysteriously, five spacecraft that flew past the Earth have each displayed unexpected anomalies in their motions.

These newfound enigmas join the so-called "Pioneer anomaly" as hints that unexplained forces may appear to act on spacecraft.

A decade ago, after rigorous analyses, anomalies were seen with the identical Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft as they hurtled out of the solar system. Both seemed to experience a tiny but unexplained constant acceleration toward the sun.

A host of explanations have been bandied about for the Pioneer anomaly. At times these are rooted in conventional science — perhaps leaks from the spacecraft have affected their trajectories. At times these are rooted in more speculative physics — maybe the law of gravity itself needs to be modified.

Now Jet Propulsion Laboratory astronomer John Anderson and his colleagues — who originally helped uncover the Pioneer anomaly — have discovered that five spacecraft each raced either a tiny bit faster or slower than expected when they flew past the Earth en route to other parts of the solar system.

I have my own silly theory but its as good as anybody's elses

On You Tube we are all having a discussion about the causes
bottomline is that gravitational laws may have to be relooked at or other phenomenon are the cause

2. I would have called it
   
Nibiru, but yeah. It could be a number of things including changes in gravitational tidal forces, a change in the Sun's gravitation, Earth's flip-flopping polarity.

But there is growing evidence that the sun my have a burned-out binary partner that is on a 3600-year orbit. But astronomers and physicists haven't found it yet.

I hope it's not a black hole coming towards our solar system!

Where is your so-called evidence?

4. This could be evidence that something is out there that
   
is affecting our Earth Rotation
They are expecting to see Nibiru soon this could be some evidence
for it...

And then there is Dark matter and that is a possibility thats throwing things off

or Global Warming with the increase wind speeds is increasing the spin of the Earth
thats actual evidence scientists have gathered

totally fascinating
look up Pioneer Anomaly very interesting

7. The first evidence of "Global Suckage".
   
The only way to reverse this trend is to elect a Democratic president, get the hell out of Iraq, and institute a system of Dickhead Offsets for Republicans, Corporate Leaders, and Bigots.

Oh my, yes, here's the proof you demaned on Professor Farnsworth's black board:


This is all very well known and understood in the World of the Future.

This has some potential for connection to a much more serious issue in NASA JPL's Earth-Crossing Object trajectory predictions, there is a rather significant (very-)near miss coming up around 2037 as I recall, currently supposed to come within two or three planetary diameters.

HA , stupid DUmmies , it's the gravitational pull caused by the supa-sekrit VRWC battle station that's presently being used to prevent the Reptilian Grey's from entering our solar system and freeing all you poor oppressed peoples from mind slavery.

Today Carl Sagan watches the DUmp and weeps at their ignorance.
