Gulf oil spill in Google Earth, Learn the behavior of pollution

We all are watching the Gulf oil spill or the gushing uncapped well under the oil rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, wondering what are the consequences. At the same time the cost need to be protected and needed resources are to be directed to the most appropriate locations. The oil, still uncontrolled, poses a serious threat to coastal industries, sensitive habitats and wildlife, including numerous species along the coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Google added NASA Modis images to Google Earth and is available as an overlay. They will continue to add imagery as time passes.
You can also get a KML file of the radar images from ESA’s ENVISAT
Google also has a site setup for this crisis of the gulf.
