What a beautiful photo. But I did notice that the stars are missing.
Again, NASA air brushing!
It's not NASA's photo, notice the credit and copyright is credited to Jean-Luc Dauvergne and Francois Colas?
Plus you can see plain as day that the picture has been cropped and pasted onto a black background, no doubt by Jean-Luc Dauvergne and/or Francois Colas.

What? People can't open the picture up in paint and make a circle?
I notice you still haven't managed to do it either.
Using red, green and blue may give the appearance of true colour but then using a UV and IR filter is not going to represent true colourl.
But I digress, all I want to see is this green spot as Imagir put it.
Oh and why he believes it is of interest?

Explanation: 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 with the 1 meter telescope at Pic Du Midi, a mountain top observatory in the French Pyrenees.
The observations carried out in T1m profit from the excellent quality of image of the site and best stereotyped the CCD obtained are comparable with those presented by Hubble Space Telescope. The programs are divided between systematic observations of the meteorology of giant planets (Jupiter and Saturn), monitoring of the surface of Mars in particular in the context of space missions, and study more opportunist campaigns of the comets which come to visit us or other small bodies of our solar system (asteroids).
As you clearly see, the two photos are two different photos, (NOT the same one) and shooted in different time and conditions.
Please, Who said that this image is the definitive proof of life on Mars?
I only pointed the lack of comment from NASA on this image that evidences strange changes on "green color" on the Mars surface and that this event, maybe, need more and carefully attention and analysys.
NASA can support what it wants (or, as it has made today, in the caption dedicated to this frame, it can not say absolutely nothing), but the “GREEN SPOT” that see with extreme clarity on the Mars Surface in this most recent image obtained from the French Astronomical Observatory “Midi-Pyrénées” ARE NOT, the product of simple - or curious - chromatic aberration.
Also in other ( but accurate and certainly sure professional) color-processing the “green” does appear, on Mars, more and more often: even in superficial frames , or in the orbital frames .
Perhaps it would be the case to make, to the more opportune levels of competence, some serious analisys on the real "Nature" and, eventually, the capacity of this phenomenon…
Oh, the photos are different. Read the date.
