Did anyone notice we are having less cloudless days/nights these few years? I attribute that to Global Warming - melting of the ice caps throws up plenty of water vapour into the atmosphere which condenses as clouds. Maybe it's time I stop buying telescopes!

Heh... Astropause?... but buying stuff doesn't count - that's classified under 'Shopping', not 'Astronomy'. :-P
