NASA Is Watching a Vast, Growing Anomaly in Earth's Magnetic …
Dec 28, 2024 · The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) – likened by NASA to a 'dent' in Earth's magnetic field, or a kind of 'pothole in space' – generally doesn't affect life on Earth, but the same can't be said for orbital spacecraft (including the International Space Station), which pass directly through the anomaly as they loop around the planet at low-Earth ...
Scientists warn huge 'weak spot' in Earth's magnetic field is …
3 days ago · The area, referred to as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), is expanding westward and covers more than 4.3 million square miles across portions of South America and Africa. According to NASA, the "dent" permits dangerous solar radiation particles to penetrate the weak spot in our planet's magnetic field, which "may knock out onboard computers ...
