These Are the Evil Dark Tentacles of BP's Oil

See the black tentacles grasping Louisiana's coast? That's the product of BP's recklessness, Deepwater Horizon's oilpocalypse descending upon the shores of Blind Day and Redfish Bay, in the Mississipi Delta. There's no oil dispersant that could clean this mess.

By now, it's clear that the oil is going to become encroached in the highly sensitive and complex natural environment of the Mississippi delta, one of the most important in the nation. The images of this disaster were captured by the Multi-angle Imaging Spectroradiometer on board NASA's Terra spacecraft. [Space Fellowship]
