[meteorite-list] color calibration

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi Sterling, all - 

NASA has been making Mars look like Arizona for years.
 The Mars "enthusiasts" need that illusion of an Earth
like Mars to continue their folly.

Realistically, the light that reaches the surface on
Mars is already pretty ugly by human standards. I
suppose that is why people set the sky to blue, to
make the place look Earth like. Once more, it's not.

Scientifically, I suppose you'd want to set the light
to white for composition analysis. To put the
landscape in human terms, blue works, as long as it is
identified.

How they'll solve the problem of calibration and
incoming light color at the same time is a good
question. I think its a problem in two variables, with
only one equation, they way they've set it up.
