last several days, wiping out most of the night sky except for Jupiter and Mars and a half dozen stars. And in the daytime, definitely weakening the sun and making for some interesting sunsets. Today it was overcast, so didn't know how much was the basic weather, and how much was pollution. So am surprised. Just looked outside, it's "clear", I see most of the stars I'm used to seeing, but is definitely "unclear" when I look at any of the horizons up to about 20 degrees above.
