Caption NASA:"It's Spring for the Northern Hemisphere of Mars and Spring on Mars usually means Dust Storms. So the dramatic brown swath of dust (top) marking the otherwise white North Polar Cap in this picture of the Red Planet is not really surprising. Taking advantage of the good views of Mars currently possible near opposition and its closest approach to planet Earth in 2010, this sharp image shows the evolving Dust Storm extending from the large dark region known as Mare Acidalium below the Polar Cap. It was recorded on February 2nd, 2010, with the 1 meter telescope at Pic Du Midi, a mountain top observatory in the French Pyrenees".

What they state is,"We have used IR, R, G, B, and UV filters."
Your broad brush that you paint with here has failed !

All I'm asking is the location of the green dot, it's not an unreasonable request, but you choose to act like *Snip* about it, why am
I not suprised(SIC)?
May I also point out that to get the image, the photographer used Infrared, Red, Green, Blue and Ultra Violet filters, hardly an indication of true colour.

Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

What a beautiful photo. But I did notice that the stars are missing.
Again, NASA air brushing!
