Default Star Distances


The anomalous acceleration of Pioneer 10 and 11 is in the direction of
the Sun, not away from it. In other words they are slowing down more
than expected, not speeding up.

Double-A


Double? A binary system! Oh my gawd, we're in a binary star system.
So let me get this straight, I am right, the spacecraft is slowing down
due to a star... behind us. The probe is now far enough away so that
the gravity of our Sun is not overwhelming, therefore not masking, our
ability to detect the pull of "our" other sun? Wow! Neato! I love
it!

Hey, that would screw up parallax measurements as well.
