Truck driver shortage in UK, NASA's LANDSAT 9 goes into orbit

People in UK face a shortage of fuel in fuel station and groceries in supermarkets, not due to shortage of food or fuel, but due to a shortage of truck drivers who can haul these items across the country. Between Brexit and the pandemic, the UK is faced with a grim winter. For the immediate future, the government plans to issue 10,000 more visas to combat the shortage. But it waits to be seen, how the government will sort this shortage out in the longer term.

NASA's LANDSAT 9 was recently launched into orbit. This tracks and sends us images of every part of the earth, landscape, vegetation, migration of people, animals and birds. It also captures images of the changing scape of oceans, coral reefs and glaciers melting. The first of the LANDSAT series was launched over 50 years ago. Comparing images since then can give us a good sense of human actions impact the climate. If you would like to see these images from the LANDSAT, please click here
