red rust looking spots on my rotors

I just noticed these red rust like spots on my rotors. Is this just water that has somehow splashed up onto the rotor and will go away after stepping on the brakes a couple times while driving down the road?

NO need to worry about it. It's just flash corrosion. Probably parked next to a sprinkler or something.

I think that is exactly what it was, my neighbor probably watered last night.

Will it just go away the next time I drive it?
