Earth Screen Saver for Windows
by John Walker
 http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthscr/
The Earth screen saver displays an image of the Earth as currently
illuminated by the Sun, from a variety of viewpoints. You can view the Earth
from the Sun (day side), the night side, from the Moon, or from an arbitrary
altitude above any point on the globe specified by latitude and longitude.
Day and night regions of the globe are shown based on the current date and
time. The image of the Earth shifts location on the screen every 10 minutes
to avoid burning in the phosphor in one location. 
The Earth Screen Saver is available exclusively for 32-bit Windows systems
such as Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP. 

The Earth Screen Saver is in the public domain. You can do anything you like
with it. The images are generated based on the cloudless Earth databases
created by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center from the MODIS instrument
onboard the Terra satellite. The image of the Earth by night is based on
nine months of observation by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.
For further information and additional images, visit the NASA Earth
Observatory site.
