Explanation:
This striking, otherworldy
scene really is a view from planet Earth.
The ochre sky
and strawberry red sun were photographed
on August 22nd near the small village of Strawberry, California, USA.
Found along Highway 108, that location is about 30 miles north
of the origin of California's large
Rim Fire,
still threatening areas in and around Yosemite National Park.
The extensive
smoke plumes
from the wildfire are easily
visible from space.
But seen from within the plumes, the fine smoke particles
suspended in the atmosphere dim the Sun,
scattering
blue light and strongly coloring the sky.
