Next year, scientists have predicted several massive earthquakes, especially in the equatorial region.

Nasa has been looking at Earth with satellites for decades now and there is a lot of information that the space agency has in the form of images. Here are a few of the best ones.

The plane can be seen tethered to a Chinook, lifted to an altitude of 12,400 feet and landing only with its 'lifting body design'.
