Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Chit Chat _ Junocam image in STAR WARS: ANDOR?

Is the gas giant that Narkina 5 orbits in ANDOR episode 8 a Junocam image of Jupiter? If so, does anyone recognize which one?

When I watched the episode I got a JunoCam feel, and looking at the linked image I
agree it's from JunoCam, but after searching for a while I failed to find the specific image.

Thanks to a twitter hourly image bot dropping it in my lap... ( https://twitter.com/bitsofjupiter/status/1595540230232281088 )
The Andor image is a composite of pieces from multiple JunoCam images.
The bean-shaped feature is from PJ20_26 JET N5 (or adjacent)

And after further investigation I see someone on twitter also noticed this: https://twitter.com/DesigningFilm/status/1588635263756283904

Thanks, Brian!

I'm curious as to how this was done; as you say only a small part of the image is from PJ20-026. I wonder if they used something like stable diffusion or if the blending was done more manually?

Nice to be a tiny part of this excellent series!
