Two NASA satellites are capturing images of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began April 20, 2010, with the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. This series of images reveals a space-based view of the burning oil rig and the ensuing oil spill, through May 24. The imagery comes from the MODIS instruments aboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites. The oil slick appears grayish-beige in these images. The shape of the spill changes due to weather conditions, currents and the use of oil-dispersing chemicals.

Our Mother bleeds…she will survive, but we won’t. Will we ever learn? No, probably not. All Life is Sacred…perhaps someone should have tatooed this on our foreheads at birth. Would we have listened then? No, probably not.
