    I don’t think that you can see the oil from space with your eye. Also the picture shown there is a zoomed in satellite image

      Well, you can, surprisingly, everything on the internet isn’t fake. I know, crazy idea.

      Here’s a whole paper on it.

      https://elib.dlr.de/209344/1/MARESEC2024_Paper_SchmidtSchwarzKrause_final.pdf

      And some more

      And here’s one from the gulf of Mexico

        I think the paper is about Oil Spill Detection on Landsat-8/9 Images Based on Deep Learning Methods

        You can see the oil spills from space just as much as you can see the Chinese wall from space.

          Yeah, check the rest of the links. I edited the comment with more. There are plenty of examples if you want to look them up. But, I’m sure you’ll just keep telling everyone it’s fake bcz why do a little googling of your own when you can just tell everyone remote sensing is fake news.

          Edit: here’s a whole website on it from NOAA

          https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/spotting-spills-space

          And a nice blog post about it

            So you second link again analyzes the images using satellite and the third link shows a different spot altogether?

              Yes, bcz it turns out you can see oil spots from space. You said you can’t see oil spots from space. Showing a different spot negates that. But, don’t let facts get in the way. Anyway, I’m done here. It’s like talking to a brick wall.

                I never said there is no possible way to see any possible oil spot from space. I said this particular oil spot is not visible to the eye from space.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
