You gotta love the wiki

I love Wikipedia, it is one of the few places of the Internet where, I think, it is still true that of what was called, back in the lata 90's, "surfing the web" -what a stupidity that was... But never mind that-

Today I found out, by total chance, a really interesting article dealing with the unexplained slowing down detected on both of the Pioneer spacecraft, I have to say that I am an effing enthusiast of the unmanned spacecraft exploration of the outer solar system, as I have posted here: Voyager, so this is like a mirage :D

Pioneer anomaly

"The Pioneer anomaly or Pioneer effect is the observed deviation from expectations of the trajectories of various unmanned spacecraft visiting the outer solar system, notably Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11. Both spacecraft are escaping from the solar system, and are slowing down under the influence of the Sun's gravity. Upon very close examination, however, they are slowing down slightly more than expected from influence of all known sources. The effect can be modelled as a slight additional acceleration towards the Sun."

Did the same thing happened -actually, it is happening!!- with the Voyager probes too??? Someone has to travel back in time and alert the writers of the script of "Star Trek, The Motion Picture", as V'ger might not be as far away as we like to think!
