Those are artists renditions of what exoplanets “could” look like. We really can’t see them that close.
THAT picture is an “artist’s conception” of what the planet might look like. The actual data will consist of a handful of pixels imaged through a spectrometer. Very interesting to astronomers, but not particularly exciting for anybody else to look at.
