NASA's
Terra satellite captured a visible satellite image of the Gulf oil
spill on May 17, 2010 from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer Instrument on-board. The oil slick appears as a dull
gray on the water's surface and stretches south from the Mississippi
Delta with what looks like a tail. From top left to top right are the
states Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Scientists are
worried that the huge plumes of oil could get into a current that would
take the oil around Florida.
