I wonder how close this is to true color. Would we see a blueish tinge as well?

i was going to to say, blue skys on mars.
i guess the more light goes through the more red the planet it. hahaha

There was a thread posted just recently showing this picture here: www.abovetopsecret.com... The photo is also a few years old already, but it's a good one none the less.

The blue is caused by high altitude dust scattering the sun light.

But will that exact tinge of blue show up to the Human eye? I know the colors the camera's on the rovers see are not the same as what we would see. There was a whole thread about it on ATS somewhere. That is, unless this photo hasn't already been color corrected that is then my question is moot.

Thanks for the post but we already have a current thread on this topic.
Sunset over mars

Please add any further comments to that thread.

Thank you, this thread is now closed.
