Red BA means new map for Jupiter

There had been a while since the three ovals fused and now the remain BA is even slightly red.

So I think that maybe the Jupiter texture could be updated,since we still see three white ovals in the temperate belt in the custom texture and even in the 4k texture.
What do you think?Did Steve Albers modify its Jupiter??s texture?

Problem is, any Jupiter map is out of date the moment it's created, its atmosphere changes too much. For all we know this new spot will disappear after a month...
