8. I never noticed it before that much.

But the friend I was walking with is Chinese, recently moved here to the US and was freaking out.
They had never seen the moon during the day before.
It was like magic!

I think because of the pollution in China, it is always hazy there and they don't see the moon during the day?

Yes today was windy and perfectly clear, one tiny cloud on the horizon.
The moon was prominent in the afternoon.
