Wait, how? UV is spicy photons. Photons don't respond to magnetic fields, do they now?

The anomaly brings the Van Allen Belt closer, weakening the ozone layer in the mesosphere. (On second thought the Hubble probably disables the sensor because of charged particles)

It doesn’t matter much to us down here because most UV is blocked in the stratosphere.
