That Could Explain The Fly-By Anomalies
"Last year, we looked at an idea from Stephen
Adler at Princeton University,

That there is a different kind of Dark Matter "in front" of a boosting
planet, than the kind "behind"... and that this Dark Matter isn't Dark
and actually must interact in ways that are obviated by other
observations. Including downing satellites anomalously.

that suggested the change in velocity could
caused by collisions between the spacecraft
and particles of dark matter. Adler even
calculated the kind of distribution of dark
matter particles that would explain the
observed changes in velocity--a kind of halo
of them around Earth.

Don't waste another thought on this Rube Goldberg contraption.
