Did you know there’s a massive dent in Earth’s magnetic field? It’s called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), and NASA is keeping a close eye on it.<br /><br />Stretching from South America across the Atlantic to Southwest Africa, this weakened zone in Earth's magnetic shield raises some serious questions.<br /><br />Here’s what we know:<br /><br />Impact on Satellites: The SAA poses risks to spacecraft and satellites, forcing them to shut down temporarily when passing through the zone to avoid damage from harmful cosmic radiation.<br /><br />Splitting and Movement: Recent studies suggest the anomaly is splitting into two zones and slowly shifting—raising questions about a possible magnetic pole reversal.<br /><br />Earth’s Shield in Action: While it doesn’t directly affect life on Earth, the SAA reminds us of the dynamic nature of our planet’s magnetic field.<br /><br /><br />NASA and the European Space Agency are monitoring the anomaly closely, ensuring risks remain manageable.<br />Location: London<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA954622<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
