ATMOSPHERIC
Wildfire Red Sun
Smoke aloft scatters the blue away, leaving a deep red sun.
How it works
Smoke high in the atmosphere scatters away the blue light and leaves a deep red or orange sun, dimmed by the smoke enough to look at directly. Dramatic, and a sign of fire somewhere upwind. Air-quality data flags when smoke is present.
