It's a lovely picture of one of the polar regions of Jupiter. You cant see that from Earth (or near the Earth).

Dang it, man! I thought you had something! Can't wait for the first ones to come out though.

It's still a few days away from arriving at L2 nd the mirror alignment process is expected to take 3 months.
They may provide some images in the interim just to whett our appetites but I doubt they would want to publish anything that might give a bad impression. I don't expect anything for a couple of months.

Here's what Jupiter looks like from Earth orbit via Hubble.
(From this article: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/hubble-captures-crisp-new-portrait-of-jupiters-storms )
A little more "fuzzy" and with the zonal wind bands aligned with the orbital plane (and Earth).
(Looking at the side bar of that page, I think I need to read a few more recent HST PR articles.)

There will always be people who don't like it changing. Farmers, homeowners along the coasts, ranchers, etc.
But that's the reality we're moving through now. Probably too late to stop the disasters, but we might be able to blunt it a little, and certainly make plans to handle the new reality.

I thought that looked very familiar....
Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night:
The similarity is amazing.
I think we can now be fairly certain that Vincent was actually an alien from Jupiter.

Oh come on, don't be ridiculous!The similarity is amazing.

OP
He is probably from one of Jupiter's moons. You wouldn't see all that from within Jupiter's atmosphere.

Yeah, when Van Gogh died, he probably went to Jupiter and did some scribbling on the atmosphere with his ghostly fingers!
He actually wrote in one of his letters to his brother, when we die, we go back to the stars. Death is the transport that takes us to the stars.
Aside that, he wrote lots of deep insights in his letters. Through that, scientists extrapolated his IQ beyond 200 which is insane. He's even more genius than Einstein.

It made me wonder if we are inspired enough, maybe, we can perceive things way beyond physical limitations.
The similarities are incredibly uncanny like he actually saw it. And Van Gogh is quite exceptional himself being also one of the most intelligent persons ever born in this planet and ironically tragic life as an artist. Something tells me it's not just coincidence.

Artists, the great ones, always apprehend something important about the universe, usually without being aware of the science behind it.
Fractal analysis of the paintings
When looking at Pollock’s work, Professor Taylor found staggering examples of Pollock’s use or accidental inclusion of fractals (the artist, as far as we know, never commented on them). Taylor took 20 canvases from a nine-year period when Pollock was honing and perfecting his drip paintings. The physicist scanned photographic versions of the paintings (as some are now valued at more than $30million he was unable to work with the originals). With these scanned versions Taylor used complex computer programs to divide the images into areas less than 2mm across. Looking at the images from this distance, Taylor concluded that the paintings contained similar fractal patterns to those found in nature.
It is one thing being able to painting simple fractal structures, but if you’ve ever seen a Pollock in a gallery (the Tate Modern in London has some, as does MoMA in New York) then you’ll know that the drip paintings are not simple. These large-scale paintings, sometimes many meters long, are complex and appear random. The idea that someone could have placed fractals into the painting, sometimes minute in their size, seems impossible. But to prove his theory that Pollock knew what he was doing, Taylor got out the paint brushes and went to work…
Fractal analysis - Painting Mathematics of Jackson Pollock's paintings
This, I suppose, is why I find Pollock's paintings beautiful, even though I don't have much use for abstract expressionism otherwise. The patterns in his work mimic the patterns found in nature, in a very deep and abstract way.
So I'm not surprised that another great artist anticipated the atmosphere of Jupiter.
