SpaceX Rocket Launch Creates Ionosphere Hole, Expert Claims

TL;DR Summary
A recent rocket launch by SpaceX has potentially caused a temporary hole in the Earth's ionosphere, according to a space physicist. The Falcon 9 rocket's engine burn at a high altitude may have altered the ionization of the ionosphere, which could impact GPS systems. This phenomenon has been observed in previous Falcon 9 launches, highlighting the need to monitor the effects of frequent rocket launches on the middle and upper atmosphere.
