This beautiful picture featured as APOD on the twenty-ninth of August was titled "Strawberry Sun". I chose this because, for one I find it incredible that such a thing in nature can be so beautiful and the title fits in perfectly. According to the description, the unusual colors that appear in the picture given to the moon and sky are due to smoke plumes in the surrounding wildlife. I also learned that these plumes can be seen from space, which is something very cool and previously unknown to me. Overall, I'm glad I chose this picture because in any other situation I would've thought it was just pretty but now I also know the reason as to why the sky appears like this.
