That should not affect the possibility but only the ability. Do you know a
number (and accompanying formula) for this decrease? I assume it must be
something like  I = Io * Exp(-k x)  so give me a reasonable "k" (and its
cause (interstellar debris?)) and I could make a more realistic formula.

Is this from Nightmare on Elm-street? What does it mean? I get a bit sick of
it, not knowing for sure.
