Red Sky

"Red sky at night shepherds delight" and all that.  What makes the sky red in the first place?

Sky at night

If you look into the North East of the sky and see a star that kinda twinkles red and blue, do not, phone your local observatory, cos apparently it is "NOT" a UFO, but what would they know, eh?
