Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill: 35 days from Space: NASA |
| The MODIS instrument, on board NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites,
is capturing images of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The spill
began on April 20, 2010 with the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil
rig. This short video reveals a space-based view of the burning oil rig
and, later, the ensuing oil spill through May 24, 2010. The oil slick
appears grayish-beige in the images and changes due to changing weather,
ocean currents, and the use of oil dispersing chemicals. Images in the
video time series were selected that show the spill most clearly. The
full image archive is available on the MODIS Rapid Response Web site at http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/ credit: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?10562 |
