Cool program, I use it.

Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator. It will generate a high-resolution, accurate representation of the Earth. The imagery is based on NASA's Blue Marble Next and Earth's City Lights. Day and night is accurately represented depending on the Sun's overhead position (which depends on both the time of day and the day of the year) and both the snow cover and the foliage changes with the seasons.

Cool, nice find Dewayne.

Pretty cool, although I don't think I'd want it as my wallpaper (I assume it automatically changes it periodically?).

Mine sets to change every 5 minutes.
