oohhhh
Light rays here travel a much longer path through the relatively cloud-free upper atmosphere. Along this path, shorter wavelength blue light rays are scattered effectively by gases in the atmosphere, and it is this scattered light that gives the region its blue character. Why the upper atmosphere is the northern hemisphere is so cloud-free is not known, but may be related to colder temperatures brought on by the ring shadows cast there.

"The image has been adjusted to approximate the natural blue color of visible sunlight scattered by the gas giant's upper atmosphere"
so its not real. it is but its not.
