There is a new story that is building up as the full thunder moon which is going to be at its peak at 10:37 pm on Friday dating to 23rd July is going to be pretty orange or reddish than usual which is going to happen because of the ashes that are traveling in the air because of the wildfire that has taken place in Western and northern Canada.

It is because of the “fine particulate matter” which the authorities were talking about earlier and by authorities, we mean the Department of Environmental Protection of Pennsylvania as they have issued an alert for the air quality which they did on Tuesday and that is the reason that there is a reddish theme in the atmosphere.
Smoke from the Western U.S. and Canada is causing periods of reduced visibility across the northern half of the country, including Western and North Central NY. Smoke will continue over the region through Wednesday morning, before a cold front helps push the smoke east. pic.twitter.com/4c5kS5hUjr

The sun or the moon always looks reddish from the earth’s surface because they are being viewed through the air that is present on Earth but the ash that has been created by the Wildfire has taken the effect to a completely next level.
