Yes, it is still continue shrink, but not so fast!
Redspot need movement / energy from somewhere all a time!
That movement / energy pushing from outside expanding Jupiter! OFCOURSE from outside!
The reason why it is not shrinking not so fast is movement / energy from galaxy centre supermassive concentration which also expanding and,emit expanding movement / energy all a time! Sometimes some extra energy! Like yesterday year!
"The storm, known as the Great Red Spot, is seen here swirling at the centre of the image of the planet. It has been decreasing in size at a noticeably faster rate from year to year for some time. But now, the rate of shrinkage seems to be slowing again, even though the spot is still about 240 kilometres smaller than it was in 2014."
This is also very interesting stuff!
"There is another feature of interest in this new view of our giant neighbour. Just north of the planet's equator, researchers have found a rare wave structure, of a type that has been spotted on the planet only once before, decades ago by the Voyager 2 mission, which was launched in 1977. In the Voyager 2 images the wave was barely visible and astronomers began to think its appearance was a fluke, as nothing like it has been seen since, until now."
