RGB color image processing: Dione and Saturn, May 2, 2012, step 1. Three frames captured through infrared, green, and violet filters were superimposed in red, green, and blue color channels, with no attempt at alignment. Color fringes on Saturn and Dione occur because Cassini's and Dione's positions shifted during the few seconds that passed between the three photos. NASA / JPL / SSI / Emily Lakdawalla
