While it has little impact on life on Earth, the same cannot be said for orbital spacecraft, including the International Space Station, which passes directly through this anomaly in low-Earth orbit.

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 ...

Magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) techniques have long been employed to identify subtle deviations in the Earth’s ambient magnetic field, which often indicate the presence of concealed ...

The Earth’s magnetic field protects us, and our orbiting tech, from the worst effects of the Sun’s energetic rays. In a region called the South Atlantic Anomaly, however, the magnetic field is ...

NASA is currently keeping an eye on a huge and strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field. ... This can be harmful to low-Earth orbit satellites that pass through the SAA. Read Also : ...

Researchers have spotted interesting changes in the South Atlantic Anomaly, which is a region of Earth’s magnetic field that has a large dent. The area of weak magnetism appears to be splitting ...

Thousands of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a significant power surge over a part of the planet that included the ancient kingdom of Mesopotamia. People at the time probably never ...

One of astronomy's burning mysteries is whether another Earth-like planet exists in far off stars. Bucknell University Professor Jackie Villadsen, physics & astronomy, is now contributing evidence ...

Internal magnetic field models like IGRF-13 are used to track changes in the Earth's magnetic poles, like the North pole's shift of about 45 km north-northwest each year.
