Handout image from NASA T.V. released 19 May 2010 shows a visible satellite image of the Gulf oil spill on May 17 at 16:40 UTC (12:40 p.m. EDT) captured by NASA's Terra satellite 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.

Handout photograph from NASA made available on 05 May 2010 from the Aqua satellite as it flew over the oil spill from the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drill rig disaster located in the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana, USA, on 04 May 4 at 2:50 p.m. EDT. The Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, instrument captured this visible-light image. The bulk of the spill appears as a dull gray area southeast of the Mississippi Delta. An estimated 42,000 gallons (160,000 liters) of oil per day are leaking from the damaged oil well.

This NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua satellite image Captured May 9, 2010 shows a close up view of a massive oil slick (right) in the Gulf of Mexico as it continued spreading moving perilously close to shore, near Louisiana. The massive oil spill bearing down on Louisiana's fragile coast wetlands comes at the worst time for untold numbers of nesting birds and spawning fish whose young are most vulnerable to the toxic sludge. Nearly all migratory birds in the Western Hemisphere stop over in the marshes surrounding the mouth of the Mississippi river and tens of thousands are currently guarding eggs laid along the shores.

In this May 1, 2010 satellite photo provided by NASA, the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico closes in on the Gulf Coast in the southern United States. Oil from a massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico was starting to ooze ashore, threatening migrating birds, nesting pelicans, river otters and mink along Louisiana's fragile islands and barrier marshes.

In this image provided by NASA shows the oil slick appearing as a silvery-gray patch in the lower right of the image acquired by NASA’s Aqua satellite on Tuesday afternoon, May 11. 2010. Oil slicks become most visible in photo-like satellite images when they appear in a swath of the image called the sunglint region—where the mirror-like reflection of the Sun is blurred by ocean waves into a washed-out strip of brightness. In these cases, the difference between the oil-smoothed water and rougher surface of the clean water is enhanced. The tip of the Mississippi Delta is at upper left. Wispy clouds make it hard to determine whether any of the streamers or smaller patches of oil extend northeast of the main slick. (AP Photo/NASA)

FILE - This file image provided by NASA of the slick was captured on Tuesday, April 27, 2010, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA?s Aqua satellite. Marine scientists fear that two powerful Gulf currents will carry the oil to other reefs: the eastward flowing loop current could spread the oil about 450 miles to the Florida Keys, while the Louisiana coastal current could move the oil as far west as central Texas.

In a May 4, 2010 satellite image provided by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite, an oil slick lingeres not far from the Mississippi Delta. The slick appears as an uneven gray shape immediately north of a bank of clouds. Sunlight bouncing off the ocean surface gives the oil slick a mirror-like reflection easily detected by satellite sensors. (AP Photo/Nasa)

Oil slicks become most visible in photo-like satellite images when they appear in a swath of the image called the sunglint region, where the mirror-like reflection of the Sun is blurred by ocean waves into a washed-out strip of brightness. The slick appears as a silvery-gray patch in the center of the image. The tip of the Mississippi Delta is at upper left. Wispy clouds make it hard to determine whether any of the streamers or smaller patches of oil extend northeast of the main spill.

This NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra satellite image Captured May 17, 2010 shows a close up view of a massive oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico as it continued spreading moving perilously close to shore, near Louisiana. BP said May 18, 2010 that a tube inserted into a ruptured oil pipe now is sucking up about 40 percent of the crude spewing into the Gulf of Mexico, about twice as much as it did one day earlier.

The Gulf of Mexico and oil from the BP spill is seen in this NASA satellite photo taken on May 17, 2010. Fears that the huge Gulf of Mexico oil spill was spreading through ocean currents flared on May 18, 2010, after tarballs were found on Florida's Key West, while energy giant BP worked to capture more of the leaking crude.

This image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite on May 10, 2010 and released by NASA on May 17, shows the oil spill which has remained in the Gulf of Mexico not far from the Mississippi Delta. Thin, wispy clouds partially obscure the satellite sensor’s view of the ocean surface south of the Mississippi Delta, but oil on the water’s surface is still apparent southeast of the delta. The most obvious portion of the gray-beige slick arches toward the west, with inward-curling tendrils.
