NASA's Terra satellite snaps giant storm under sea off coast of South Africa

i didn´t even know those existed!

A giant storm is brewing under the sea off the coast of South Africa.

Snapped on December 26 by NASA's Terra satellite, the recently released image shows the incredible huge swirl of water estimated to stretch nearly 150km across.

It looks like it could swallow a moderately sized island nation, but the "storm" is actually just a harmless eddy, also known as a "current ring".

allthough this was not Terra´s mission it´s an awesome sight to behold.

NASA launched Terra back in 2003 as part of a multinational effort to monitor the spread of pollution around the Earth through a 15-year lifecycle.

enjoy

I'm confused.
This thread was silenced, then removed, then returned to it's original post? Why would this of all things be edited so quickly? ANW early warning censor?

I noticed that too Regardless though, this is pretty cool. Looks like just one big whirlpool. Not sure how devastating these things can be but my guess is they are pretty weak.

Literally 10 seconds after you posted another thread came up with the same info. The other one had blocked out your post with a "Lies" banner of some sort. Never seen that banner before.

3 options:

A) CIA-MOSSAD-AL-CIADA-ILLUMINATI-SATANS on ATS did censor it

B) technical error

C) some terms or so - crappy source/link/dp etc

Make your choice =)

Made a thread around that almost a week ago.. Its Phytoplankton bloom off South Africa ,

edit on 22-2-2012 by HawkeyeNation because: (no reason given)

What they said. The LIES banner, the it was 404'd. Then I went back to the new topics page and it was there and working normally.

ANW is AllNewsWeb, a known hoaxer and not allowed here.

here we have the answere - mods were too quick in trashing it...

just to clear this up.

i now see what you mean.

the lies banner was because i originally found the article on SOTT (sign of the times).

they have written negatively about ATS in the past and have spread lies.

so yeah it was a forbidden source.

The stargate opened, duh.
