Scientists are worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly(Unsplash) The SAA has been described as a ‘dent’ or ‘pothole’ in Earth's magnetic field by NASA. The agency said that it ‘can ...
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 ...
Satellites passing through this area often experience malfunctions, with systems crashing, data corruption, and equipment ...

The South Atlantic Anomaly represents a region within near-Earth space characterized by a significantly weaker geomagnetic ...
The space agency's satellites and spacecraft are particularly vulnerable to the weakened magnetic field strength within the anomaly, and the resulting exposure to charged particles from the Sun. The ...
A vast underground structure may be slowly disrupting Earth’s magnetic shield ... The area of greatest concern is the South Atlantic Anomaly, a large stretch of weakened field that spans from Chile to ...
This geographical clustering is related to Earth’s peculiar magnetic field, which is weaker in the southern hemisphere due to the South Atlantic Anomaly, a region where the radiation belts dip closer ...
