Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that light pollution prevents seeing the Milky Way?

Yes. A Wikipedia reference states that light pollution means more than one-third of Earth's population cannot see the Milky Way from home, and other sources note light pollution reduces or makes the Milky Way nearly invisible.
