Well, not really..
The official line is, that they will both survive intact after their encounter around the 4th-8th July.. but Red Jr may slow down, causing it to perhaps lose it's red colour that came about when it increased in intensity.

I hope to get some good seeing over the next month so I get some more images of it. Chris has posted my June 12 image on the Red Spot Jr (http://www.redspotjr.com) site.
