Does Bermuda triangle exist in space too? Well, actually it does. It is called the South Atlantic Anomaly. It is very similar to the one on Earth but here aircraft, ships or boats aren't lost whereas satellites and spacecrafts mess up their programs and shut down their functions. Even the Hubble telescope turns off taking observations when passing through it. The International space station avoids taking spacewalks when passing through this place. Some astronauts have reported seeing shooting stars there.
What might be the reason for this problem? Scientists say that it is the area where the band of radiation known as Van Allen Radiation Belt comes closest to the surface. This belt is a layer of energetic charged particles that is held in place around a magnetized planet, such as the Earth, by the planet's magnetic field. The Earth has two such belts and sometimes others may be temporarily created. The main suspect is that the high levels of radiation that accumulates at this place but scientists are not sure how the effects occur. So let's just pin this on the aliens who themselves have been a mystery for so long !!
