A recent study has revealed that the explosion of SpaceX’s Starship rocket on November 18 caused a temporary hole in Earth’s ionosphere. The rocket, which exploded twice during its ascent from Boca Chica, Texas, generated powerful shock waves that disrupted the ionosphere—a region of the upper atmosphere filled with charged particles. Published in *Geophysical Research Letters*, the study found that the explosion temporarily neutralized the charge of nearby particles, creating a hole that spanned up to 1,200 miles. This is the first recorded instance of a non-chemical ionospheric hole formed by a man-made explosion. Fortunately, the hole closed within 30…

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft landed uncrewed at White Sands Space Harbour in New Mexico late Friday, concluding a challenging three-month test mission marred by technical issues.

Despite Boeing’s assurances, NASA chose not to…
