hlfrmn already found this tricky error and gave the correct answer, just in case anyone else is interested:

Starting from version 14.3.0 Node's http module will perform validateHeaderName and validateHeaderValue on each Key-Value pair you specify in your request options headers.

So if you do

const {validateHeaderName} = require('http');

try {
    const options = {
        method: 'GET',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Accept​': 'application/json',
        }
    };
    for (const header in options.headers) {
        validateHeaderName(header);
    }

} catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
}

the mentioned error will be printed:

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_HTTP_TOKEN]: Header name must be a valid HTTP token ["Accept​"] will be printed from the catch block.

I didn't eat because of your question T_T

As @hlfrmn said, you have a rare char in your Accept word!!

I reproduced the error:

const https = require('https');

//copied from origin question
var copiedOptions = {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    "Accept​": 'application/json'
  }
}

var writedOptions = {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    "Accept": 'application/json'
  }
}

https.get('https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod?api_key=DEMO_KEY',writedOptions, (resp) => {
  let data = '';

  // A chunk of data has been recieved.
  resp.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });

  // The whole response has been received. Print out the result.
  resp.on('end', () => {
    console.log(JSON.parse(data).explanation);
  });

}).on("error", (err) => {
  console.log("Error: " + err.message);
});

If you try with copiedOptions, you will get the same error.

Since Node v10.20.1

Searching in https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/master and the stackTrace: _http_outgoing.js:472

at ClientRequest.setHeader (_http_outgoing.js:472:3)

• function setHeader https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v10.20.1/lib/_http_outgoing.js#L472
• function validateHeaderName https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v10.20.1/lib/_http_outgoing.js#L446
• function checkIsHttpToken https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/_http_common.js#L210

I founded this:

const tokenRegExp = /^[\^_`a-zA-Z\-0-9!#$%&'*+.|~]+$/;
/**
 * Verifies that the given val is a valid HTTP token
 * per the rules defined in RFC 7230
 * See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230#section-3.2.6
 */
function checkIsHttpToken(val) {
  return tokenRegExp.test(val);
}

That regex ensure that header name only has allowed tokens or chars according to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230#section-3.2.6

Maybe a earlier validation in nodejs core could help:

You have a not allowed char in your header name!

If you have problem with res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/json'}); ------> You should rename word (text) to (Application) like this.
