NASA Baffled by Unexplained Force Acting on Space Probes
Mysteriously, four spacecraft that flew past the Earth have each displayed unexpected anomalies in their motions. These newfound enigmas join the so-called "Pioneer anomaly" as hints that unexplained forces may appear to act on spacecraft. A decade ago, after rigorous analyses, anomalies were seen with the identical Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft as they hurtled out of the solar system. Both seemed to experience a tiny but unexplained constant acceleration toward the sun. [More...] via Space.com
MIT Instrument Finds Surprises at Solar System's Edge
The Voyager 2 spacecraft's Plasma Science instrument, developed at MIT in the 1970s, has turned up surprising revelations about the boundary zone that marks the edge of the sun's influence in space. The unexpected findings emerged in the last few weeks as the spacecraft traversed the termination shockwave formed when the flow of particles constantly streaming out from the sun--the solar wind--slams into the surrounding thin gas that fills the space between stars.

Asymmetrical Shape of Heliosphere Raises Questions
By Walter Cruttenden, July 7, 2008
Ever since the Voyager 2 data confirmed the nonsymmetrical shape of the solar system scientists have pondered its cause (i). In summary, the edge of the heliosphere (the place where the solar wind slows to sub sonic speeds) appears to be 1.2 billion kilometers shorter on the south side of the solar system (and in the general direction of the winter solstice, the direction of Voyager 2), than it is on the edge of the planetary plane (where Voyager 1 exited approximately a year earlier). This indicates the heliosphere is not a sphere at all but a bullet shape. More data is required to determine the exact shape in all directions. [More...]
Precession of the Equinox: The Ancient Truth Behind Celestial
Motion
By Walter Cruttenden
Hardly a week goes by without an announcement that some ancient structure
or astronomical artifact has been found, or some civilization is discovered
to be older or more advanced than previously thought. Graham Hancock,
Robert Bauval, John Anthony West, and many other leading edge thinkers
are now correcting years of academic bias that filtered out anything
that didn’t fit with a linear progression of history. We are
learning that the Sphinx and other megalithic structures are probably
much older than we first thought and they almost always align to key
astronomical coordinates or reflect the patterns of the heavens...

Comparison of Precession Theories: An Argument for the Binary
Model
By Walter Cruttenden
There are two basic theories to explain the Earth’s changing
orientation to inertial space, a phenomenon known as “Precession
of the Equinox” or often-just “Precession”. The
“Lunisolar” explanation is widely accepted while the “Binary”
or “Oriental” explanation, although quite old, is hardly
known. However, recent scientific evidence, as well as new mathematical
models and an expanding knowledge of binary systems call into question
the long accepted lunisolar theory and lends surprising support to
the binary view.
This paper will explain and examine the two theories and provide a
model of each. It concludes that the lunisolar model has serious flaws
that need to be reexamined whereas the binary model also needs more
research but better fits observation, uniformly explains known solar
system anomalies and does not contradict any solar or lunar rotation
equations. Interestingly, it also appears to be a better predictor
of long-term precession trends and is supported by Kepler’s
laws on elliptical orbits...

On Newton's Paradoxes
By Carlo Santagata
Reading the Principia [1] it is easy to realize that Newton, without
being aware of the fact, has
corrected the law of the fall of bodies formulated by Galilei. In
the present paper we examine the consequences of such a fact and show
that they affect the entire Celestial Mechanics, being related to
the very small 43” per century of the perihelion shift of Mercury
as well as to the substantial 50” per year of the grand phenomenon
of the lunisolar precession...

Understanding Precession of the Equinox: Evidence Our Sun
May Be Part of a Long Cycle Binary System
By Walter Cruttenden and Vince Days
A recent study of the phenomenon known as “Precession of the
Equinox” has led researchers to question the extent of lunisolar
causation and to propose an alternative solar system model that better
fits observed data, and solves a number of current solar system anomalies.
The standard model was theorized before there was any knowledge of
the life cycle of stars, or awareness that some stars are non-visible
and could thereby exert unseen gravitational influence. Also, the
old model was developed before knowledge of binary prevalence or any
understanding of binary star motions. Indeed, the standard “single
sun with lunisolar wobble causing precession”, was originally
developed at a time when the Sun had only recently replaced the Earth
as the center of the solar system and the Sun was thought to be fixed
in space. Consequently, any theory to explain the observed phenomenon
of precession of the equinox had to be based solely on movement of
the Earth. Although, it has stood for almost 500 years with only minor
tweaking, it fails to answer a number of well documented solar system
anomalies...
