The sunsets over Lake Michigan disappeared in soot and smoke created by fires to the west. 

Fires in Manitoba and Ontario, Canada captured on 11 July 2021, by the VIIRS instrument, aboard the joint NASA/NOAA NOAA-20 satellite:

The smoke and haze has been noticeable, and the sun became a bright orb at dinner time.  Sunset was at 9:16pm, but the sun faded and had all but disappeared in the western sky by 8:55pm. We were on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.
