High-resolution Image of Gulf Coast Oil Slick As Seen From Space
Monday, May 3, 2010 at 10:23AM DigitalGlobe, a leading global provider of commercial, high-resolution, world imagery products and services, has released a high-resolution photo from the Gulf Coast oil slick as seen from space.
The Macondo oil well is still leaking almost 5,000 barrels per day into the Gulf of Mexico. Efforts to seal the leak, including the use of underwater robots, have been unsuccessful.
The slick is nearing the coast of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
Update: The Air Force Reserve has deployed two C-130 Hercules aircrafts with Modular Aerial Spray Systems to spray dispersant to break up the oil slick. The planes are from the 910th Airlift Wing, based in Youngstown, Ohio.

This is my third visit to this blog. We are starting a new initiative in the same category as this blog. Your blog provided us with important information to work on. You have done a marvellous job.
Thanks for taking this opportunity to discuss this, I feel fervently about this and I like learning about this subject. If possible, as you gain information, please update this blog with more information. I have found it really useful.
What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this. You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot. Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored. But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
Thanks for the nice post...
Im obliged for the article.Really thank you! Awesome.
Loved to browse through your web log. I would love to suggest you that targeted visitors demonstrate most people understand blogs on Mondays. So it will need to encourage bloggers to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.
You certainly deserve a round of applause for your post and more specifically, your blog in general. Very high quality material
