About the moon:

Once in a Blue Moon
What color is the Moon? The answer is not as straightforward as you might think

Color variations on the Moon are subtle; just look at the Moon with your eye. To help distinguish small color variations, the WAC divides the UV and visible spectrum into 7 narrow bands from which scientists can pull out subtle signals related to different minerals.

The Moon Is Not Black And White, It Just Looks That Way
Hands up if you think about the Moon in black and white? Yes – well, you’re not alone, and there’s actually good reason for you to, because the surface of the Moon is nearly devoid of strong colors in comparison to what we’re used to here on Earth.

Is that just from the heat/electromagnetic radiation or does the explosion also send out incendiary pieces of some sort that set fire to the plane?

Most likely shrapnel.

"The BGM-109B is armed with a 750 kg WDU-36/B unitary warhead, which is also used in current models of the BGM-109C. In current models, this is a generic HE-FRAG warhead, but the early models of the BGM-109C were armed with what is known as a "Bullp*** warhead. The 450 kg WDU-25/B "Bullpup B" is similar to an HE-FRAG warhead in principle, but relies much more heavily in a downward-direct directed fan of pre-formed shrapnel to destroy its target, making it a sort of a "flying claymore mine". The WDU-36/B is designed to be used against ships and hard targets on land (such as bunkers and hardened aircraft shelters), though its fragmentation effect also makes it effective against soft targets. The WDU-25/B "Bullpup B" is tailored to destroy soft targets, like wooden structures and parked aircraft; it is not effective against most hard targets. Latest warhead versions use PBXN-107: Cast-cured plastic-bonded insensitive high explosive filled with RDX (86%) and polyacrylate binder (14%)."
