Specialist of the NASA have revealed that the area located between the southern part of Florida, and the islands of the Bermuda Y Puerto Rico, known as the Bermuda triangle, can produce damage to satellites, which are bombarded by intense radiation
Radiation that, according to the researchers, has since been more intense than anywhere on Earth cosmic rays of the sun are not held in this area, so the satellites experience increased radiation when they pass through this region.
“I don’t like the nickname of the Bermuda Triangle, but in that region, the lower intensity of the geomagnetic field leads to a greater vulnerability of the satellites to energetic particles, to the point that spacecraft could be damaged when crossing the area, ”he said. John Tarduno, professor of geophysics at the University of Rochester
“A) Yes, satellites passing through the Bermuda Triangle will experience greater amounts of radiation to the point where damage could occur as a result of a shock or an electric arc ”.
According to information from the astronauts in the International Space Station, in the early years the Bermuda triangle it caused computer glitches, forcing space agencies to shut them down.
