Does anyone know whether it is expected to last for the centuries that the
original Great Red Spot has?

First, isn't new, it is there since the 2000, when the STB ovals B and
DA merged into oval BA, as it should rightly be known. Secondly, you'll
be happy if its yellow-orange colour is going to last a year or so.
