There is a certain amount of sediment and stuff from the Mississippi River that is there naturally, so I don't know that you can really tell all that much from a satellite photo.
(There's no oil spill in this NASA photo.)
WOW!
Just tragic in so many ways!
It’s sickening how many liberals I’ve run into that are “outraged” by it, and are pushing their agenda. I just know they are happy about this in a twisted kind of way. They are as bad as the oil slick itself IMO.
Oh my. That aint good. Hope this gets capped soonest!
I’m afraid Rush has really hurt his credibility in all this. I know he was taken out of context to a large extent, and that nature will take care of it on its own in the long run, but in the meantime a lot of people are suffering, and the libs have his comments front and center.
I live on the coast and drive along the coast and those pictures lie.
Damn.....The area affected is much larger than I assumed.
But can it still be processed?
That shows the delta and the oil spill, the oil spill is the shiny area. Sad either way.
Here’s the latest from NOAA on surface oil forecast...doesn’t seem to agree to picture...

Photoshopped?
Photoshopped?
Oil is a natural substance. Why all the hue and cry?
I have not read all comments, but I did go to the link and the pictures presented are NOT literal pictures... Somebody is playing mind games... and NO I am NOT diminishing the BamBamKennedy disaster in the gulf!!!!

Freepers can be gullible.
I’m sorry, I’m just so underwhelmed in so many ways.
Thousands of gallons of crude have been “gushing” for a month and yet all we still see are little bits here and there. Even that Reuters site shows nothing but a glob or two in many of the photos.
Now we see Greenpeace and their minions protesting and taking pics themselves. Now THERE is a credible bunch to correctly report on what they see.
When I see black beaches, thousands of dead birds and thousands of dead fish, THEN I’ll believe it’s a disaster of the magnitude they’ve been forecasting for so long now.
Here is the Terra image from today, 5/19/10. Note the very similar appearance further east along the coast of Florida, complete with swirls. Near the leak site, very little is visible except for a brown smudge, which you can see more clearly at higher resolution.
When I saw today's image I actually thought it was the oil slick which had drifted almost to Florida, but I decided it was just clouds. At any rate, you certainly have to be very careful interpreting these images.
I have worked with a lot of satellite imagery in my career as a software developer with a GIS emphasis. I immediately realized the contrast is bogus. The grey area is a light artifact on water not an oil slick. And the “enhanced” image is simply highlighting a mis perception.
