I wonder if the "edge" is the terminator and the separated high clouds are the actual limb of Jupiter. Since the sun is not directly behind us, we should see a small sliver of the dark side of Jupiter.
My attempt to see if this made sense using trig said the separated clouds are about twice as far from the edge as they should be, and I do not know what would illuminate the separated clouds in that case, so ... who knows?
