But wait, doesn't the pinky-orange color come from PX's dust tail? You mean things can look pinky-orange from more causes, like magnetic disturbances, than just PX's dust tail? Especially since this was taken in 2010 when PX wasn't near Earth? Of course they can. I remember a spectacular sunset in Santa Barbara back in 1991, just as orange-red as could be.

Yes other things can cause reddish orange sunsets and blood moons.
