Atmospheric Bermuda Triangle

As all of our entries to this point have been lightyears distant, it appears that given how extensively we have investigated nearby space, we must look far into space in order to discover anything novel or extraordinary. The South Atlantic Anomaly is an energy shadow that can be found 124 miles from Earth and is so strange that name.

It runs from Zimbabwe to Chile. Satellites orbiting the world are subjected to substantially higher radiation concentrations because the Van Allen Belt, the magnetic and atmospheric force encircling the planet, is closer to Earth for unknown causes.

As a result, satellites are more frequently damaged to the point of radio silence. The enhanced radiation from that perilous journey must simply be accepted by a number of satellites as a fact of life, or possibly a reality of half-life, as there is very little that scientists can do to avoid such a big portion of the sky.
