Colorization of Mars Images?
ares2003 writes "There is no scientific reason, why JPL is colorizing Mars in that dull red tint as in their press release images. In the latest panorama image, there is a hint, that they deliberately altered the colors, as the blue and green spots on the color calibration target (the sundial) suddenly converted to bright red and brown. Source of original images: 1, 2 - (for highres replace "br" with "med"). At normal weather conditions, as we have at the moment, there should be a blue sky on Mars and earthlike colors. Furthermore the sky looks overcasted on the pictures as it cannot be considering the sharp shadows on the sundial. If the sky was overcast, then because of diffuse lighting, there would be no shadows. A few years ago, I did an investigation about that very same topic for the Viking and Pathfinder missions."
Maybe this is the problem

Imagination is the silver lining of Intelligence.
Hey folks, do a google search on a few key words of the above, like 'so many allegedly "educated" people' You will find a rich tapestry of trolls built off this same basic template. One link leads to a how-to-troll archive and guide. So, you fed the troll. Don't let it happen again.
What were you expecting?
Thats because it was taken inside a studio, like the one they used to fakte the lunar landings.
Why do you think the european beagle2 failed, and the American didn't?
If you can't make it, fake it!
