Scientists say that the Earth's magnetic field is weakening between Africa and South America, causing satellites and spacecraft to malfunction.
The magnetic field is vital for life on our planet, as it shields us from cosmic radiation and charged particles emitted from the sun.
The discovery was made by a team at the Europe Space Agency (ESA) and the researchers say that the weakening of the magnetic field is a sign that Earth is heading for a pole reversal. ESA have been studying the magnetic field since the end of 2013.

There certainly won't be a pole reversal in my lifetime.
