Desktop Earth 2.1.1
Keep an eye on Planet Earth from your desktop
The Earth is probably the best planet.This desktop background great for monitoring cloud cover, the advance of day and night and noctornal lights around the globe.Although the cloud cover only renews itself every 3 hours, you might be able to find a server faster than those built into the Desktop Earth and apply this for quicker generation. The illuminated surface of the Earth updates every minute though, so it's great for finding out where the Sun is concentrated at any given moment- License:
