The South Atlantic Anomaly: Earth’s Weak Spot in the Magnetic Field

High above the South Atlantic lies a growing “dent” in Earth’s magnetic field — a region scientists call the South Atlantic Anomaly. Here, the planet’s protective shield weakens, allowing intense radiation to dip closer to Earth. Satellites malfunction, instruments glitch, and space agencies like NASA monitor the area with increasing concern. Is this anomaly a sign of an impending magnetic pole reversal… or simply the natural restlessness of Earth’s core? Explore the strange phenomenon reshaping our planet’s invisible defenses.
