Comment on Sun's surface seen in new detailparent

Reminds me of the minor controversy around the color of the Mars sky. Turns out that replicating perceptual color as it would be experienced by a person standing on another body or looking directly at it is not really that simple. Cameras designed for use on Earth are calibrated for a certain environment and even then you can get differences in how colors show up or are perceived on photos.

Turns out a person on Mars would sometimes see a bluish sky depending on how much suspended dust is present, the altitude, and the time of day.
