Huh, that just looks fake, like CGI.

That was just incredulity with the appearance, not with the fact. It just looks too clear compared to a lifetime of experience with fairly crappy videos from space, but I don't doubt its authenticity.

JPL photograph

There's a peculiar white spot on the lower right. Looking at it blown up makes it look like high white clouds higher than the general cloud deck. Which makes me think of a splash, as if some large asteroid sized body hit Jupiter and splashed its atmosphere (hypothesized to be liquid deeper in without a clear gas-liquid boundary like surface of the ocean here on Earth). That circle of white clouds must be well over a thousand miles across, so it would have been a planet-killer impact if it happened here, if that's what it was. Jupiter hardly noticed it.
