  • @TrueHamal The red dust in the atmosphere scatters red light, so when anyone looking around would see a reddish sky. Meanwhile, the red wavelengths are filtered out of the direct path of light from the sun, leaving light towards the bluish end of the color spectrum. Those looking at the sun will see it as blue.

  • How can a sunset on Mars be blue? I don't trust this lanscape. Something is then wrong in the martian colors.

    Or Mars is red either Mars is blue. What's the matter then with Mars.

  • Truly beautiful.
