NASA's fleet of satellites and its astronauts aboard the International Space Station took a slew of incredibly beautiful images of Earth this year. From erupting volcanoes and wildfire scars to idyllic islands and surreal cloud formations, here are our favorites.

Running left to right through the center of this image is the scar from the EF-5 tornado that ran through Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013 killing at least 24, injuring 377 and likely topping $2 billion in damages. Captured by NASA's Terra satellite on June 2, 2013. (NASA). [High resolution version]
Alaska is almost always mostly, or at least partially, covered with clouds, but this rare, cloudless moment was captured by NASA's Terra satellite on June 17, 2013. (NASA). [High resolution version]
The burn scar from the Rim fire that burned moew than 255,000 acres in the Yosemite area in August can be seen in grey in the image above. This image was captured on Sept. 16, 3013 by the NASA/USGS Landsat 8 satellite. The map below shows the outline and progression of the fire. (Image: USGS/NASA. Map: Robert Simmon, NASA).

The Bingham Canyon Mine near Salt Lake City, Utah is one of the largest open-pit mines in the world, measuring 2.5 miles a cross and almost 4,000 feet deep. The mine's major product is copper, but it also produces gold, silver and molybdenum. The image above shows the aftermath of the largest landslide in North American history, which struck the mine on Apr. 10, 2013. This image was captured by NASAs Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) three weeks after the slide on May 2, 2013. Below, the view is compared to an image from 2011. (NASA). [High resolution version]

Paul Routledge says: At the back of my mind is a natural unease about where this is all going, because we have no control over the activities of those who wish to harm us
Many lucky people got a smartphone or a tablet or some such electronic gizmo for Christmas. It is the choice of the text Santa age.
The givers of these presents believe they were doing their friends or family a favour. The recipients certainly think so.
But, as the old proverb says, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
These little magic machines can be a greater source of evil than they are of good.
Consider the facts. Barely a week goes by without reports of a girl killing herself because of cyber-bullying.
Chelsea Clark, 13, of Wolverhampton, hanged herself in her bedroom.
Her mother blamed websites that target the young and vulnerable.
Izzy Dix, 14, of Brixham, Devon, also hanged herself, after being chiselled away by cruel remarks. She wrote a moving poem, I Give Up, on her mobile phone.
The lethal side of social media is not confined to the young.

We are getting a good glimpse of Johnny Depp's latest project Transcendence, thanks to the sci-fi film's first full-length trailer.
"The path to building super intelligence requires us to unlock the most fundamental secrets of the universe," Depp, who portrays scientist Dr. Will Caster, tells an audience. "Imagine a machine with a full range of human emotion. Its analytical power will be greater than the collective intelligence of every person in the history of the world." Little does he know his life is about to change drastically.
PHOTOS: Movies from the future
Shortly after this speech, it is revealed that an anti-tech group is conducting a series of attacks and have hit A.I. labs all over the country. Depp's character gets shot with a radiation-laced bullet and he is told the effects are irreversible.
Even though Depp's body is dying, his mind is very much alive. The decision is made to upload Depp's consciousness into a computer and although this grants him tremendous power, he soon becomes unstoppable.
Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall, Cillian Murphy and Paul Bettany also star. Longtime Christopher Nolan cinematographer Wally Pfister is making his directorial debut.
Transcendence, produced by Warner Bros., hits theaters on April 18, 2014.

A psychiatrist who teaches at Harvard Medical School said today he didn't know that students were drinking at a high school graduation party he hosted in New Hampshire.
J. Wesley Boyd, 46, of Needham and his wife, Theonia, 49, a pathologist who also teaches at the medical school, were both arrested at the party Sunday night after police alleged that underage drinking was going on at the Weare, N.H., event.
Boyd said today he and his wife had told the students from the St. Paul's School in Concord who were graduating with his daughter that there would be no drugs or alcohol allowed at the party. He also said he and his wife and another couple had monitored the party without seeing any alcohol.
He said several of the students had since apologized, telling him that they had been hiding the drinking from him,
"My wife and I have gone back over each decision along the way that we made and there's nothing necessarily we would have done differently," he said.
He said if there was one error he and his wife made, it would be the size of the party, which was attended by dozens of people at a large house, with fields in both front and back, that Boyd had borrowed from a friend.
"I would keep it smaller or have five times as many chaperones and in a confined place," he said.
Weare Police didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
About 70 teenagers were taken into protective custody. Boyd and his wife face charges of facilitating an underage drinking party, the Associated Press reported.

A medical school in Saudi Arabia will pay the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine $5.5 million for its expertise to create a medical program.
Through a three-year agreement, Wright State will help the Unaizah College of Medicine of Qassim University create Saudi Arabias first Doctor of Medicine program. It will be modeled after the Wright State program.
We are proud that we can offer a new school in a different culture our proven program for educating the next generation of physicians, said Dr. Marjorie Bowman, dean of the Boonshoft School of Medicine.
Wright State faculty members will serve as mentors to help establish the new program, said Dr. Dean Parmelee, associate dean for academic affairs for Boonshoft.
Until now, medical schools in Saudi Arabia have offered only a bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery, or MBBS degree, according to Wright State. Medical programs in the country are taught in English, according to WSU.
The M.D. program will begin in September 2014. At that time, 100 students from a pre-health professionals program will enter a one-year program that mirrors the experience of Boonshoft students, according to WSU.
Sixty of those students will then be selected to continue on with the program, according to WSU.
Parmelee said Saudi Arabia is focused on medical education because only a small percentage of physicians there are from the country. The country is undergoing rapid change, and has devoted 25 percent of its budget to higher education, Parmelee said.
They want to create and they are rapidly doing so a whole infrastructure of medical education, he said.
Their new agreement could be renewed for two additional years, and Wright State would be paid $1 million per year, Parmelee said.

Dr. Teresa F. Clawson chose a specialty in medical school sometimes referred to as "big city" medicine: neonatology. But when she moved to Winchester Medical Center, she fulfilled her desire to redirect her expertise to the rural community.
Clawson was appointed to the center's Board of Trustees on Dec. 17. She joined the hospital in June of 1996 after completing fellowships at Indiana University School of Medicine and was made the director of the center's newborn nurseries in 1997.
Clawson said her work with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit has given her a greater appreciation for the importance of including patients in medical decision-making.
"The patient's story is important to hear," she said. "A lot of times there's a disconnect between what is put on paper and what reaches the patient. And there may be a disconnect between what we do and what we think they want."
After leaving Indiana University, Clawson looked into applying to some large, urban hospitals, but chose the medical center so she could have a closer relationship with her patients.
"This is considered a rural hospital, and I was very struck by the caliber of care here," she said. "One of the things that was important to me when I went into medicine was being able to serve the community that I live in."
The neonatology department has been proactive, Clawson said, when including patients and families in health decisions.
"We've been working toward getting the family voice involved," she said.
Clawson said she hopes to apply those principles to the entire hospital through her position on the Board of Trustees, encouraging physicians to consult with patients and their families.
