    Looks like it could be a clitch on the photo, but there are 2 red spots in the bottom left corner.

    The color images are combinations of 3 color filters, their appearance is nowhere close to the realistic color. Usually they are stretched to highlight the interesting features best. This leads to some images being greener, others - redder. If you see just a green stripe or bright red dot or strikingly blue smudge - that likely means that there is data missing in the other filters. For example, sometimes you'll see half of the image being plain green - this means data from the red filter is missing. When whole image appears dark red - blue filter is missing. These are tiny technical glitches.
