Mary Landry said the leak was a new discovery but could have begun when the rig sank on Thursday, two days after the initial explosion. We thought what we were dealing with as of yesterday was a surface residual oil from the mobile offshore drilling unit, Landry said. In addition to that is oil emanating from the well. It is a big change from yesterday ... This is a very serious spill, absolutely. A robotic camera has determined a pipe leading from the well is leaking oil at an

This is what the average person might actually see. Additionally, the relative brightness of each object is correct. And as you can see, the Earth is considerably brighter compared to the moon.
