Haze

by

1. There isn’t all that much more that I’d like to say about copepods at this time. I’ve got a microscope, and will attempt to photograph one close-up. Until then, let’s shelve this copepod topic.

2. That haze you see in the sky around cities? You know, that brownyellowdust sorta colored layer that sits on top of everything? That’s pollution, right? That’s, like, bits of dirt and dust and particles and all, right?

No. Two-thirds of the haze that you see is haze-colored gas. You are literally seeing the air.

If you live out in the country and see some haze, 90% of that consists of various gasses.

I wonder whether I could trap some haze in a jar. Wouldn’t that be nice? Like lightning bugs, but not.
