Jupiter in UV, IR, methane absorption false colour.

I combined a UV image (as red), a near IR image (as green) and a methane absorption band image (as blue) into a false colour image of Jupiter.

It shows, simultaneously, the appearance of features in these three wavelength bands. The GRS appears blue since it is extremely bright in the methane band (which is the blue channel). The NTB white spot outbreak is bright in all wavelengths.
