A massive and evolving weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), has caught the ...

NASA is closely monitoring an anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field located between South America and southwestern Africa.

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 ...

the South Atlantic Anomaly arises from two main features—the tilt of the Earth and the flow of molten metals within its outer core. The Sun expels a constant outflow of particles and magnetic ...

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.

When these orbiters pass through the anomaly, it can cause satellites and spacecraft to experience short-circuits and malfunctions. That's because the reduced strength of Earth's magnetic field ...

It's time to recalibrate the navigation systems on ships, airplanes, and (given the time of year) Santa's sleigh: the ...

For years, NASA has been studying a growing anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field that scientists liken to a “dent” or “pothole in space.” It is a giant region of lower magnetic intensity ...

NASA is worried about the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA). This anomaly affects Earth's magnetic field, which may pose risks to satellites and the International Space Station. The SAA is caused by ...

David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth ... and inferred geological map of the southern part of Zealandia. Survey ships mapping the magnetic field in the sea strait ...

The weak spot in Earth’s magnetic field, the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), is splitting into two and getting wider, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Its name, the African Large Low Shear Velocity Province, is thought to disturb the magnetic field (just like this one surrounding the Earth) generation of the whole planet, thus representing a ...
