https://www.afinalwarning.com/511953.html (Natural News) There is a weak spot in the Earth’s magnetic field, and some scientists believe it may have been caused by the remnants of an ancient planet that impacted the Earth billions of years ago.
The Earth has a protective geomagnetic field that shields the planet from deadly solar radiation. This field is generated by a process that starts 2,000 miles below the surface of the planet, in the Earth’s outer core.
In the outer core, there is a gigantic mass of liquid iron swirling around. This generates the magnetic field that stretches from the outer core up to the space surrounding the Earth.
Dent in Earth s Magnetic Field Caused by Buried Ancient World
Researchers from Arizona State University have suggested that two giant blobs of rock cupping the Earth s core are likely behind a dent in the Earth s magnetic field.
The Earth s magnetic field protects the planet from charged particles from solar winds that would otherwise strip the ozone layer and allow harmful ultraviolet radiation to enter. Over South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean, there are unusually weak spots in the field. These spots, known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) allow these particles to reach closer to Earth s surface than normal, which can interfere with onboard computers and satellite data collection.
A Buried Chunk of Alien World Could Be Behind a Weak Spot in Earth s Magnetic Field

Earth s suit of geomagnetic armor has a chink, and it s growing.
A weak spot in our planet s magnetic field, located above the southern Atlantic Ocean, has been increasing in size over the last two centuries, and it s starting to split in two.
For those of us on the ground, this isn t cause for concern: The protective field continues to shield the planet from deadly solar radiation.
But the South Atlantic Anomaly, as it s appropriately named, does affect satellites and other spacecraft that pass through an area between South America and southern Africa.
