Abstract
A collection is made of presently unexplained phenomena within our solar system and in the universe. These phenomena are (1) the Pioneer anomaly, (2) the flyby anomaly, (3) the increase of the astronomical unit, (4) the quadrupole and octupole anomaly, (5) dark energy, and (6) dark matter. A new data analysis of the complete set of Pioneer data is announced to search for systematic effects or to confirm the unexplained acceleration. We also review the mysterious flyby anomaly where the velocities of spacecraft after Earth swingbys are larger than expected. We emphasize the scientific aspects of this anomaly and propose systematic and continuous observations and studies at the occasion of future flybys. Further anomalies within the solar system are the increase of the astronomical unit and the quadrupole and octupole anomaly. We briefly mention dark matter and dark energy as in some cases a relation between them and the solar system anomalies have been speculated.
