If I remember right, just on the famous first image there occured an error
first, so that the sky of Mars appeared blue -- when corrected it was red.
There are Viking pictures with both sky colors red and blue, depending on
how many (red) dust is in the sky. If dust-free, the Martian sky appears
(quite dark) blue. (Also according to my memory..)
