Oil Slick in the Gulf of Mexico.. New NASA Photo
Look at this picture!! This is from a NASA Satellite showing the real damage of the Spill in the Gulf of Mexico..
What are we going to do???? On Saturday, June 19, 2010, oil spread northeast from the leaking Deepwater Horizon well
in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil appears as a maze of silvery-gray ribbons in this photo-like image from the
Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite.
The location of the leaking well is marked with a white dot. North of the well, a spot of black may be smoke;
reports from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say that oil and gas continue to be captured and
burned as part of the emergency response efforts. The large image provided above is at MODIS’ maximum spatial resolution
(level of detail). Twice-daily images of the Gulf of Mexico are available from the MODIS Rapid Response Team in additional
resolutions and formats, including a georeferenced version that can be used in Google Earth.
