What's causing this optical effect around flying plane captured on Google maps? I am unable to get my head around what is causing this optical effect. Which is caused when satellite captured this image of a flying plane.
Location on Google maps

I found this explanation online but it doesn't seem to be very much adept.
 A: As others have said this is not chromatic aberration.  Instead it's an artifact of the way the cameras in satellites work (links below).  They do not work like a conventional 'domestic' digital camera, which uses a single sensor and a single exposure to make a colour image.  Instead they have a panchromatic imaging system which captures high-resolution, luminance-only (ie B/W) images, and several systems which capture, typically lower-resolution, images in various wavelengths.  All of these systems 'look through' the same telescope.
So colour images from a satellite like this are put together from several images, which are not made simultaneously in general.  So fast-moving objects, like planes, exhibit all sorts of weird artifacts, as can be seen in the image in the question.

A: The plane is very bright and the ground is relatively dark, making the chromatic aberration of the telescope imaging system, which is always present, highly visible.
The form of this is specific to the optics of the telescope.
