It’s similar enhancements that show different wavelengths of light similar to national weather service radar and satellite imagery.

They can filter at infrared or other wavelengths and I’m sure now they are getting better and better at distinguishing different data at different levels in the atmosphere.

We see similar images on the nightly news weather reports. Not a big deal but it is beautiful because it is Jupiter.
