Q: Will the transit of Venus in a few weeks, be visible at Mars?

It's not a big deal and I'm sure there's a mundane explanation, either from image acquisition or processing, but it's definitely not an optical illusion. Optical illusion would operate to make the silhouette look lighter against dark background and darker against light. This is the other way round: lighter against light and darker against dark, making it look spookily transparent.
