Solar radiation pressure, the physical "push" exerted by photons of sunlight, is proportional to a space object's area-to-mass ratio.

Wonder what else they got wrong.

The acceleration due to solar radiation pressure would be the quantity the journalist has in mind.

WT1190F

Is this a NASA joke for "we don't know what it is"?

What is more disturbing is that there were 1190 cases of "we don't know what it is".

I’ve been wondering where I left my WT1190F.

It was the only one I had, and it’s been a nightmare trying to replace it. My Matco Tool dealer has had it on back-order for a couple of years, now...

“Is this a NASA joke for “we don’t know what it is”?”

The official abbreviation for this object’s name is “WTF”

Especially if it lands on you!
