I don’t think the sky on Mars is blue.

I wondered the same thing, and could not find any information on a light on Ingenuity. Seems odd, as the area is certainly lit, and, as has been noted on this forum, the ambient light on Mars is dim.

The photos often show an illuminated area in the center as if so. This may be a characteristic of the digital sensor. From previous posts I learned (and should have realized this) that the Martian surface is much darker than Earth being the fourth rock from the Sun.
I did a cursory search on this question but did not find anything.
