Posted by Ricardo Marcenaro | Posted in NASA: It is happening now - Está sucediendo ahora - 12-5-10 - Explosion. Leak at Gulf of Mexico Oil Well - Lousiana - USA | Posted on 7:32
An image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite on Tuesday afternoon, May 11, shows that the damaged Deepwater Horizon oil well continued to leak significant amounts of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Oil slicks become most visible in photo-like satellite images when they appear in a swath of the image called the sunglint region—where the mirror-like reflection of the Sun is blurred by ocean waves into a washed-out strip of brightness. In these cases, the difference between the oil-smoothed water and rougher surface of the clean water is enhanced. The slick appears as a silvery-gray patch in the center of the image. The tip of the Mississippi Delta is at upper left. Wispy clouds make it hard to determine whether any of the streamers or smaller patches of oil extend northeast of the main slick.

2. Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Response, the official site of the Deepwater Horizon unified command.
3. Current information about the extent of the oil slick is available from the Office of Response and Restoration at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration.
4. Information about the impact of the oil slick on wildlife is provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
