NASA to investigate odd gap in Earth's atmosphere that opens up once a day at North Pole
Earth's magnetic field appears only once per day, according to The Mirror.And it can only be viewed at noon, local time, when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky.While it might not seem to much of a worry, the magnetic field about the North Pole stops particles of the Sun reaching Earth, but this newly-found gap can cause an issue for satellites and spacecraft.NASA scientists who spotted it, have also noticed that it is interfering with radio and GPS signals in the area.And weirdly, any aircraft passing the area seem to slow down when the space opens up.NASA has said that it is attempting to find out why the space appears, but they have not yet been able to do so.A test will be carried out by shooting a sounding rocket from Norway
