A common objection to the vapor canopy theory has been that an extensive vapor blanket would attenuate all incoming starlight. In the following discussion, a vapor canopy model containing vapor amounting to forty feet of precipitable water is proposed. The physics of the maintenance of this amount of water has been developed and will be the subject of a later publication. The scattering coefficient of the vapor canopy is calculated and some approximations are made on the visibility in the pre-flood heavens. In conclusion, some suggestions are made regarding the effect on ancient mythology of the change in the appearance of the sky after the flood.
