It seems the 33 year old Pioneer spacecraft is about 400,000 kilometers off course. Scientists aren't sure if it is due to a system error or something else, but there is talk of creating a space craft to study the effect.
I'm just thinking that 400K (less than 0.003 AU) isn't all that far considering that the thing has traveled 79.66 AU.
I do hope that it is something interesting that is causing the drift, technical error is so disappointing.
They have found another case of the drift though. Asteroids are showing the same deviancy.
