In this composite image, we can see the central cyclone at Jupiter's north pole and the eight cyclones that encircle it. The Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA's Juno collects data in infrared, and the colors in this composite represent radiant heat: the yellow (thinner) clouds are about 9 degrees Fahrenheit in brightness temperature and the dark red (thickest) are around -181 degrees Fahrenheit.
