Hafele and Keating performed a famous experiment in relativity
where atomic clocks were on airplanes that traveled east and west.
There was a later experiment where atomic clocks were on airplanes
that traveled north and south.
Please provide a citation to an article describing this later
north and south experiment in relativity.

"Hafele and Keating are credited with an experimental measurement which
confirms time dilation and matches predictions with an accuracy of about
10%. It gives an experimental answer to the twin paradox".
