Instead of taking a physics correspondence course, I opted to watch The Orville on Thursday nights to better understand spatial anomalies. I’ve found it helps.

I find it amazing they even notice.
Personally I think they are forgetting carry a number.
To: BenLurkin
They also determined that this anomaly appears to be dependent on the ratio between the spacecrafts radial velocity and the speed of light, and that this decreases very fast as the crafts altitude over Jupiters clouds changes. These issues were not predicted by General Relativity, so there is a chance that flyby anomalies are the result of novel gravitational phenomena or perhaps, a more conventional effect that has been overlooked. Hmmm.

Just googled the Orvilles. From the cast pic, it looks similar to a choice between Mary Ann and Ginger.
I go for Mary Ann, btw.

Perhaps variations in the very tenuous atmospheres involved. I assume such matters are taken into account!
The calculations required for these maneuvers are insanely precise, challenging the average person’s comprehension of what “precise” really means, IMHO.
But then it is let slip that well, there is one iota of a scintilla of a fragment of uncertainty, and the popular mind is inflamed ... “It’s space aliens!”

Space aliens set up a base on it. Now, they are evading detection.
Nothing good comes next.

Fools. All they had to do is say there may be a link to climate change and cha ching.

Aren’t the masses of planets and moons really just estimates?
If a body doing the slingshot comes out with a wider orbit than expected, wouldn’t that mean the mass of the body it’s using for it’s pivot is less than estimated?

They will find this effect mostly in the vicinity of gas giant worlds like Jupiter due to ongoing ‘sporting events’ in Lunar-sized stadiums by the universe-wide Dweller civilization which has inhabited these sorts of worlds for billions of years.

Well, you can’t drive there even though it’s the largest (in land area) city in America.
