It seems colour channels are not properly aligned. There are green/purple artefacts around clouds.

The "aliens" snapshot, just show this : http://gigapan.com/gigapans/103187/snapshots/274815



I can't source this or anything but I seem to recall someone mentioning that the extra green/purple is actually near infrared that is getting scattered back and interpreted by the camera for scientific purposes.


Could also be chromatic aberrations too from poorly coated lenses.

Edit1: Check out the edges of the world. Wonder what the issue there is?
