Detail from SkyTruth image showing response vessels and Gulf oil slick on April 25.
\nWe just got a detailed ALI satellite image from NASA that was shot two days ago, on April 25, when the oil slick was about 817 square miles in size (it has since more than doubled to at least 1,800 square miles). You can see several response vessels working at the periphery of the slick. The magnitude of the job they have to do is plain to see.<\/p>\n

NASA\/ALI image taken from the EO-1 satellite on April 25, 2010, showing some of the oil slicks and sheen (bright areas) resulting from the Deepwater Horizon drill rig blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. Slicks extend well beyond the image to the northeast (upper right); see NASA\/MODIS image from April 25 for full extent of the oil slicks. Spill source is leaking well on the seafloor located near bottom center of this image. Insets show several response vessels working on the periphery of the slick.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
