NASA’s Earth Observing-1 satellite with the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) instrument aboard took an image centered on Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Friday, January 15, 2010, three days after the earthquake. The picture on the left is the entire ALI image. The lower right image is a zoom-in of Port-au-Prince, while the upper right image is the same view taken in September 2008, one week after Hurricane Ike.
