What does this red dot mean?

I made a really simple sketch, and I'm getting this red dot. I looked at other posts that seem to suggest this is a projected bit of geometry (not entirly sure what that means) But I'm guessing it means its on another plane, where this is all just flat simple lines. 

 

Any way to clear up my confusion in fusion?

Projected Geometry (in this case the Origin).

 

BTW - if you are using a Windows machine you can use the built-in Windows Snipping tool to capture just the important area of the screen in question 

and

you can embed your images directly here simply by clicking Photos glyph above.

Hi, 
it seems that it is indeed a projection of the origin into your sketch. It has a pink color tone. But I cannot delete it. that's strange. Can you delete it?

So is the origin point always projected geometry?

Well, I've tried to delete it but it cannot be deleted. I tried because every projected geometry can be deleted if needed.

I tried deleting it too, because I assumed that as it was red, that meant that I had done something wrong. But it won't delete, and I assume it does not need to be deleted.

I guess they should have picked a color that was not so close to red.  I can see where that might concern the user.
