This image is from NOAA's Operational Significant Event Imagery site dating 9 June 2010, ten days ago now. But it's one of the better one's I've seen so far of the extent of the spill in the larger Gulf of Mexico basin. (Click here for a larger image.) As you can see, there's a helluva lot of oil out there. And that's just the surface. Add to this the news that BP said its main vessel capturing oil from the huge Gulf of Mexico spill shut down overnight last night due to a blocked vent, hopefully to restart later Saturday after a lightning storm passes.

Who's voting this down, by the way? Would it help if we all agreed Obama didn't cause the spill or whatever? It's a photograph, people. There's no damage control to be done here.

Thanks.
