) who has taken full advantage of being able to use Twitter live from the International Space Station, has been sending down a stream of images he has taken of Chile following the magnitude 8.8 earthquake that hit the country early Saturday. Just recently, he posted the above image, taken directly over Santiago. "Santiago, the capital city of Chile. One day after the Mega earthquake(M8.8) hit the country. We wish the earliest recovery," Noguchi wrote on Twitter. He also took a video of the ISS astronaut's view as they flew over Chile earlier today, below.
Here's another image Noguchi took from the ISS, of the coastline of Chile, near Santiago.
