Consumers are far from done with Morgan Wallen, even if he’s in temporary exile from radio and most other mass media. His “Dangerous: The Double Album” is No. 1 on the album chart, with no sign of being budged from that spot any time soon even if Wallen did issue a video apology this past week telling fans that he needs to take time off to get his life together. He may be going away for a while, but his music isn’t going anywhere.

LIMA, Peru - Tour operator Marco Arellano s business shuttling tourists to Machu Picchu and the Amazon jungle effectively ground to a halt during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, as this South American nation is caught in the throes of a brutal second wave, he and millions of other Peruvians are putting their faith in one country to turn the deadly tide.
Peru has joined developing nations from North Africa to the Andes in counting on China for help. For these customers, the vaccines developed in Chinese laboratories and now being distributed globally could hold the solution to a massive problem: how to inoculate their populations after bigger and richer nations have pushed them to the back of the line for the more reliable vaccines developed in the West.
The Best Way to Find Aliens on Other Worlds May Be to Search For Signs of Their Smog
14 FEBRUARY 2021
The Universe is a big place, so scientists are keen to narrow down their search for alien life – maybe by looking for radio signals, or hospitable climates, or huge megastructures. Now another sign of alien life is under consideration: atmospheric pollution.
If there are alien civilisations out there, the hypothesis goes, then their activities and industries may have produced pollution just like ours have. That pollution could be something we could spot in our scans of deep space.
A new study suggests nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2) could indicate life on other planets: It can be produced from burning fossil fuels, as well as from lighting, volcanoes, and other biological, non-industrial sources.
NASA says we should search for aliens by looking for their pollution

We know the galaxy is home to plenty of potentially habitable exoplanets, but to determine whether anything is actually living on these worlds scientists hope to spot some sign of life, a so-called biosignature or technosignature. New research out of NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland suggests searching for alien pollution as one such indicator.
