OT: Pioneer anomaly Message #1 Posted by Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove on 19 Apr 2012, 5:17 p.m. The so-called Pioneer anomaly appears to have been solved, according to the Planetary Society blog by Emily Lakdawalla. To my surprise, an esteemed forum member co-authored the scientific paper supporting the thermal origin of this phenomenon (the more than expected slowing down of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spaceprobes).

Re: OT: Pioneer anomaly Message #2 Posted by Ethan Conner on 19 Apr 2012, 7:47 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove I think it's a pretty impressive feat to have gathered all that data and processed it. On a lighter note i couldn't find a sentence that began with "So".

Turyshev, Viktor T. Toth, Gary Kinsella, Siu-Chun Lee, Shing M. Lok, and Jordan Ellis. There is an interesting name in this list. :-)
