The pictures were pretty pointless anyway, but the article is interesting.
A SPACE probe launched 30 years ago has come under the influence of a force that has baffled scientists and could rewrite the laws of physics.
Researchers say Pioneer 10, which took the first close-up pictures of Jupiter before leaving our solar system in 1983, is being pulled back to the sun by an unknown force. The effect shows no sign of getting weaker as the spacecraft travels deeper into space, and scientists are considering the possibility that the probe has revealed a new force of nature.
It is quite possible that other intelligent beings exist and that we will never find them.
Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.

Hasn't been much news of the ekpyrotic model since WTC911. Actually we had assumed there would be no news at all until the gravitational blueshift had been observed, at which time we could all switch over.
I have always wondered about this, what if the universe is just a perpetual series of reruns? And many many billions of year in the future, as has been in the past, I will be typing these exact words again?
