Earth has a weak zone in its magnetic field which is known as South Atlantic Anomaly and has been known about since the 19th century. But now scientists have noticed a huge expansion of it. The magnetic field shields the planet from solar radiation. But satellites and spacecraft receive more radiation when passing the anomaly. This means electronics can be damaged. As this field comes from Earth's core it makes it hard to understand.https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2025/10/15/earths-magnetic-field-is-warping---and-scientists-dont-know-why/
