Radiation hardening and single event upset detection and recovery from cosmic rays are some reasons that satellites are so darn expensive.
Guess the Bermuda Triangle has relocated.
Trump’s fault.
Great, another reason why it was a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
I wonder what is happening in South America on the ground in that blue area. Does that low area help or hinder the Amazon Rainforest? Do the people living in those areas have a higher rate of cancer or other ailments than those in other areas?
The South pole is moving toward that ‘anomaly’
The North pole is headed toward Siberia - another reason for the disruption of the so-called Polar Vortex (jet stream) which, in part, drove this last ‘super’ cold spell.
As the poles continue to wander toward the equator, expect more cold weather. Very cold.
IOW, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
I wonder if has anything to do with UFO sightings?
This is the expected results of the cyclic North South magnetic polar switch that occurs every X thousands of years
(X not sure of the frequency spread)
Its not only Texas that’s being affected by the war on coal

Earlier this year, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British Geological Survey (BGS) were forced to update the World Magnetic Model a year ahead of schedule due to the speed with which the magnetic north pole is shifting out of the Canadian Arctic and toward Russia’s Siberia.
Deep solar minimum on the verge of an historic milestone

Solar minimum is a normal part of the 11-year sunspot cycle, but the last one and the current one have been far deeper than most. One of the consequences of a solar minimum is a reduction of solar storms and another is the intensification of cosmic rays. The just ended solar cycle 24 turned out to be one of the weakest in more than a century – continuing a weakening trend that began in the 1980’s – and, if the latest forecasts are correct, the next solar cycle will be the weakest in more than 200 years.
One of the natural impacts of decreasing solar activity is the weakening of the ambient solar wind and its magnetic field which, in turn, allows more and more cosmic rays to penetrate the solar system. Galactic cosmic rays are high-energy particles originating from outside the solar system that can impact the Earth’s atmosphere. Our first line of defense from cosmic rays comes from the sun as its magnetic field and the solar wind combine to create a ‘shield’ that fends off cosmic rays attempting to enter the solar system. The shielding action of the sun is strongest during solar maximum and weakest during solar minimum with the weakening magnetic field and solar wind. The intensity of cosmic rays varies globally by about 15% over a solar cycle because of changes in the strength of the solar wind, which carries a weak magnetic field into the heliosphere, partially shielding Earth from low-energy galactic charged particles.
NEWLY PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC PAPER TEARS GLOBAL WARMING AND THE IPCC TO SHREDS

A scientific paper entitled “An Overview of Scientific Debate of Global Warming and Climate Change” has recently come out of the University of Karachi, Pakistan. The paper’s author, Prof. Shamshad Akhtar delves into earth’s natural temperature variations of the past 1000 years, and concludes that any modern warming trend has been hijacked by political & environmental agendas, and that the science (tackled below) has been long-ignored and at times deliberately manipulated.
... Pro human induced global warming scientists exaggerate the contribution of carbon dioxide as a major greenhouse gas in absorbing long wave earth’s radiation. The fact is water vapor is the single largest atmospheric greenhouse gas (2% by volume), Carbon dioxide is second (0.0385% by volume).
Water vapor contributes 95% to the greenhouse effect, all other greenhouse gases combined contribute only 5%. Furthermore, the man-made portion of carbon dioxide contributes only 0.117% to the greenhouse effect.
The IPCC does not consider water vapor a greenhouse gas in its reports.
In addition, water vapor absorbs in a much wider band of long wave radiation (4-8 micrometer and 12-70 micrometer bands), whereas Carbon dioxide absorbs in narrow bands (13-16 micrometer) and ozone absorbs in a much smaller narrow band (9-10 micrometer). Thus, water vapor absorbs in a much wider wave length band, it has the single largest greenhouse effect among all the greenhouse gases.
Somehow this is no doubt related to GoreBull Warming (sarc)
If it’s such a problem, then why fly over it? After all, there’s not much else down there.
Might affect the “Hole in the Ozone” layer, letting in more UV.
ping
I’ve heard that Gorilla Glue helps.
Oddly enough (and probably coincidentally as well) the anomaly is antipodal to that part of the planet which sees repeated, large, and very deep earthquakes.
Slide -— That “hole” used to be over Australia IIRC
They called it a “hole in the ozone layer caused by CFC build-up”, it was the prelude to a huge media blitz on the fact all people in Australia were subjected to super high UV so from then on they had everyone running about crying “cover up”
Weird how the “hole moved”
Back on subject, how did all those spacecraft and manned craft that flew outside the “NOW 400 mile save zone” not cook like eggs on a hotplate. seeing that the radiation zone is so thick and 100% lethal??
And how are all those satellites “orbiting” our planet not going anywhere near these anomalies? hmmmssss
Blessings
I’m thinking maybe don’t try to catch a tan on the beaches between Rio de Jeneiro and Mar del Plata.
