Astronomers used these images, taken at different wavelengths, to figure out the eye's temperature and the heights of the clouds. The image in the upper left is blurry due to light scattering off clouds at a certain wavelength. The red image reveals the thermal glow, largely from the planet beneath the storm. The dark leopard-like spots suggest areas of convection. NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute/University of Arizona
