    Why is this so different looking compared with the previous Jupiter pictures?

      Perspective (this is a view from up/downsides, where the clouds/atmosphere behaves differently), and, I presume, different colour processing (fitting the colour spectrum into what is visible to the human eye, which is not necessarily straightforward).

      Good question. I went looking for a source and am going to stop now but here are some links.

      I suspect the source is one of the social media links here:

      https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=17921

      It doesn’t give much info for the specifics of how it was processed:

      This processed view enhances cloud-top texture and reveals swirling filaments, compact vortices, and bright high-altitude clouds embedded in a chaotic flow.

      It does list the source data for processing as this:

      https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=JNCE_2023250_54C00143_V01

      Here is a brief summary of the instrument from one of the groups involved with the Junocam:
