EarthDesk 7.2.2

EarthDesk is an interesting application for displaying images of our planet on your desktop with the current visualization of day and night on it. Thanks to this program, you will be able to watch on your monitor screen as day follows night and vice versa. EarthDesk uses an interactive satellite map, replacing the image of the planet on the desktop with a certain periodicity. By the way, you can adjust the refresh rate yourself - from 1 minute to 15 minutes.

Accordingly, the bright places on the map are where it is day, and the dark ones are night. In the settings, the satellite map can be replaced with a political, relief or natural one - as you want. Also, it is possible to remove the night mode of viewing the map (the whole Earth will be visible), adjust the moonlight (real, full, variable) and position the center of the map.

For positioning, you first need to select a city in the Locations section (more than 10,000 places are available) - here, among other things, you will also find out the exact coordinates of the selected city. And then, in the Display section, go to the Centering tab and mark one of the selected cities - the map on the desktop will shift.

What else is worth noting is the ability to display the cloud cover of the planet almost online, which gives the map an even more realistic look, allowing you to track phenomena such as storms and volcanic eruptions.
