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. http://astrosun2.astro.cornell.edu/a...bin_orbits.htm |
