Anyone think about the simple answer... they've both been picking up mass in the form of dust and particles for 30 years... variations in the particle density on the way through the solar system could easily have caused the drift.

Hi Alamo Girl:
Would an adjustment to the fine structure constant account for a slight increase in gravitational pull?

I was going to say that the solar wind over time could blow them off course. I suppose that after time your gravity or electrical charge would pick up debris. Wonder if they accounted for either.

heat escaping from the small nuclear generators onboard, known as RTGs (Radioisotope Thermal Generators) Oh great,
now were polluting outer space. Where's Gore!

microgravity would allow substantial amounts of material to accumulate under the right conditions.

A bump at the Heliosphere boundary layer 'shock wave' interface? The anomaly might prove the presence of the bow wave posited as the heliopause...
Or not.
