The great red spot on Jupiter was only found in 1664 about 400 years ago but some say that the storm or the great red spot was made when God had created the universe. There probably was an explosion so big when He had created Jupiter by combining different pieces of big rocks together that the force had made a whirlwind and started circulating counterclockwise so i would say more than 4.5 billion years old about the same age as Earth and other planets or since the beginning of time.
