Mexico City /
Specialist of the NASA have uncovered that the area between the southern part of Florida, And the islands of the Bermuda i port Ric, Better known as the Bermuda Triangle, Can produce damage to satellites, Which they are bombarded by intense radiation.
Radiation which is more intense than anywhere on Earth, according to researchers, since the solar cosmic rays are not retained in this area, so that the satellites experience higher radiation when they pass through this region.
“I don’t like the nickname of the Bermuda Triangle, but in this region, the lower intensity of geo-magnetic field ends up causing greater vulnerability of satellites to energy particles“To the point that damage to spacecraft could occur when crossing the area,” he said. John Tarduno, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Rochester.
“Like this, satellites passing through the Bermuda Triangle will experience higher amounts of radiation to the extent that damage could occur, due to an electric shock or arc. “
According to information from the astronauts themselves who have been on the International Space Station, In the early years the Bermuda Triangle it caused computer crashes, forcing space agencies to shut them down.
