   NEW MAPS OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC ANOMALY: Scientists have long known that our   
   planet's inner Van Allen Belt dips down toward Earth over South America,   
   creating a zone of high radiation known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.  A new   
   study, just published in the AGU journal Space Weather Quarterly, reveals that   
   the anomaly is moving and that it varies with seasons in a way that   
   researchers don't fully understand. Visit today's edition of Spaceweather.com   
   for the full story.
