Sun Clock. I’ve been looking for a cool free ‘follow the sun’ clock for ages. And lo, here it are. Super excellent. [Thanks James!]
# Satellite imagery plus 3D terrain data create a colourful representation of the physical geography of the planet. # The world map is centred on your chosen location. # The map uses the familiar Mercator projection. # The city database contains more than 2,700 entries. # The cities light up as they move into the earth’s shadow. # Support for wide format screens. # Support for dual-monitor computers.
Check out Xplanet, it’ll display the Earth on your desktop and adjust sun coverage continuously. Here’s a screenshot of my desktop. The cloud coverage is updated every hour.
