A vast and evolving anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field, situated above South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean, continues to attract focused attention from NASA researchers. This region, known as ...

Imagine waking up one morning to a world where compasses point south instead of north, where auroras shimmer across the ...

NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest ...

Satellites passing through this area often experience malfunctions, with systems crashing, data corruption, and equipment failure.

A fairly well-known phenomenon called South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) refers to the unusually weak magnetic field over South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean. And scientists acknowledge that ...

A magnetic observatory is being re-established on South Georgia to provide vital data on the 'South Atlantic Anomaly' as scientists monitor a possible reversal of the earth's magnetic field.

(These lineations, or anomalies, are different from those produced by the main magnetic field.) Joe Kirschvink of the California Institute of Technology and his colleagues later showed a similar ...

"It was a completely serendipitous discovery." Fedriani and his colleagues suspect these newly detected filaments are ...

The Earth's magnetic field quietly supports life on the planet and now, for the first time, its invisible powers have been used to create new nanoparticles and materials.

NASA scientists are concerned about a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field, which can make life at the International Space Station difficult. The vast and evolving phenomenon is called the ...

Their analysis showed the complex magnetic field can determine increases in ... and has shown more weakness in the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly’ region stretching from Africa to South America.

An international research team led by Dr. Zhang Suinan from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of ...
