Fire red Sun filtered by forest fire smoke in evening sky

Hundreds of wildfires continued to burn in the provinces of Alberta Canada. Smoke from these fires have traveled up to 2,000 miles, forming a hazy veil that engulfs the sun and gives it an intense fire engine red appearance. The sun`s flaming red hue is caused by smoke particles screening away shorter wavelengths of light, leaving only red and orange wavelengths to show through. New York smoke is drifting at altitudes exceeding 20,000 feet. Winds blowing east-southeast, across the Great Lakes and into New York State produced a smoky haze drifting at altitudes exceeding 20,000 feet that made sunspots visible. Sunspots are dark areas that become apparent at the Sunâs photosphere as a result of intense magnetic flux pushing up from further within the solar interior. Areas along this magnetic flux in the upper photosphere and chromosphere heat up, and usually become visible as faculae and plage active regions. This causes cooler less dense and darker areas at the heart of these magnetic fields than in the surrounding photosphere seen as sunspots.
