A Nasa satellite has provided jaw-dropping pictures of a huge 'storm' brewing under the sea.

The swirling mass of water - which measures a whopping 93 miles wide - has been spotted off the coast of South Africa by the Terra satellite on December 26.

But there's no need to alert international shipping, or worry about the poor fish that might find themselves in an endless washing cycle - the body of water poses no threat.

Indeed, it is more likely to create life by sucking nutrients from the bed and bringing them to the surface.

The sea storms - which are better known as eddies - form bizarre whirl shaped shapes deep beneath the ocean's surface.

This counter-clockwise eddy is thought to have peeled off from the Agulhas Current, which flows along the southeastern coast of Africa and around the tip of South Africa.

Agulhas eddies - also called 'current rings' - tend to be among the largest in the world, transporting warm, salty water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic.

Agulhas eddies can remove juvenile fish from the continental shelf, reducing catch sizes if one passes through a fishing region.
The bizarre phenomenon was spotted when the Terra satellite was conducting a routine natural-colour image of the Earth.

Serpo,
I can't thank you enough. This is a GOOD NEWS STORY! Our loving Creator is already at work cleaning up the enormous mess we've made since 3/11. I had NO CLUE these eddies existed since the firmaments were divided at the birth of our plant, until you shared your amazing news media find.

90miles across, eh? From the sounds of things, that sounds enormous. WOW.

===============
O God, hear our prayer.
Bring more safe aquatic food supply to the surface.
Heal
--our waters,
---marine life,
----our planet.
We've messed up big time.
Forgive us.
Have mercy on us.
Amen.

Absolutly, God has his hand on things, always has and always will. This is why ecologists, environMENTALists and animals rights folks are typically Bible rejecting idiots.

Nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Old Covenant Nahum 1:3, eh? Now THAT's exhalting, edifying, instructive.

As a firm believer in "As Above, So below" philosophy, or in this instance, the flip version, "As BELOW, So above..."
...........flow through logic tells me that there are highly likely 'enormous atmospheric eddies" which exhaust if you will, the man-made pollution currently being pumped out non-stop and worsening by the becquerel by the second.

Time is a human construct. If the logic just espoused above is accurate, they are also in place and in high velocity reparation mode, as well. Perhaps the eye in sky will reveal those in due time.

Makes me want to grab the Concordance and look for references to God's manifestations using wind, throughout history to current time......preferably in original Hebraic references. GREEK references would also be acceptable.

Jesus unmistakeably demonstrated "the winds and the waves obey His voice!!"

Thanks be to God.
