#The [[Pioneer anomaly]] is not explained by either Relativity (gravity) or Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.  But it seems to have been explained recently<ref>It has long been believed that heat radiating off of the spacecraft was the culprit, and this was analyzed in great detail.  In 2010 a detail not previously taken into account was analyzed, and seems to clear up the mystery.  In addition to heat from the radioisotope generators, and electronics, radiating into space, some of it is reflected off the back of the radio transmitter dish, and then radiates away from the sun.  [http://news.discovery.com/space/oh-pioneer-mysterious-anomaly-may-finally-be-solved-110414.html]</ref>.
