This is a long read but if you're a space nerd it's very interesting. I decided not to post the entire article so you'll have to check the link if you want to read the whole thing.

whatever happenned to the new planet, selena, or something like that?

Gaseous anomolies in the neutral zone?........

I remember when the shuttle disintegrated and the techies kept saying the guages went "off scale low".

Now they say "unexplained acceleration backward".

So is it too far away or too close?

[kAcknor]

OK, I missed something. Or is this just the way scientics speak?

If an object, travling out of the solar system displays "an anomalous acceleration toward the Sun" does it really mean it's unexpectedly SLOWING?

Also, would not the unexplained motions in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune coupled with this slowing provide three points of reference?

If a single phenomona could explain all three that might just be considered a clue...

Bump for later.

I'm not surprised there's an anomaly, considering nobody's figured gravity out yet.

Interesting article. I particularly enjoyed the exposition of the way the astrophysicists are handling the data (ie. asking the questions as to whether either this anomaly violates any OTHER accepted pardigms or can be explained by them) rather than invoking some really far-out explanation that violates every presently known paradigm in many far-flung fields of inquiry.

Very instructive as to how scientists work.

See The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Kuhn.

We live inside a large refelective sphere. Everything you see is a reflection and it is impossible to get out of the sphere. [sillyness off]

Instead of a planet causing the unknown gravitational anomaly on our solar system, could it be the gravitational pull of the black hole in the Milky Way?
