'Concerning for human life': NASA says Earth's magnetic field is getting worse day by day

NASA researchers are closely monitoring the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a region over South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean where Earth’s magnetic field is significantly weaker. This reduced intensity allows high-energy solar particles to come closer to the planet than usual, increasing risks for satellites and space missions.

Nelson concerned about NASA layoffs and other changes

Former NASA Administrator Bill Nelson says he is concerned about some of the recent changes at the agency, such as the firing of its chief scientist. The post Nelson concerned about NASA layoffs and other changes appeared first on SpaceNews.

NASA Is Tracking a Massive Anomaly in Earth’s Magnetic Field — And It’s Getting Worse

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 the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), is marked by significantly reduced magnetic intensity, allowing high-energy solar particles to approach closer to Earth than usual. Origin and Internal Structure of the Anomaly The SAA emerges from deep within Eart…
