NASA is tracking the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), an unusual phenomenon in Earth's magnetic field. This region, characterized by a weakened magnetic field, has drawn scientists' interest and concern.
South Atlantic anomaly As per NASA, the South Atlantic Anomaly arises from two main features—the tilt of the Earth and the flow of molten metals within its outer core.
This phenomenon, dubbed the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), is of concern to researchers since it poses challenges for satellites and spacecraft and raises questions about the uniformity of our ...
To counter this phenomenon, NASA has employed a technique of shutting down the non-essential systems in satellites when passing through the anomaly to minimize potential damage. Under Africa ...
