EarthDesk replaces your Macintosh desktop picture or Windows wallpaper with
a stunning dynamic image of our planet continuously updating in the
background while you work.

- Real-time clouds with transparency and moonlight reflection.
- Accurate sun, moon and city lighting.
- High quality twilight shading.
- Moonlight shading can be turned on or off.
- Complete multi-display support.
- Eleven different map projections.
- Includes both satellite and political maps.

EarthDesk can be installed on systems with multiple monitors. Each Macintosh
desktop is independently configurable so that different maps can be shown on
different screens... or you may choose to only display map images on certain
monitors. For Windows, the image can span across multiple screens.
EarthDesk runs in the background on your Mac or PC, keeping your desktop
up-to-date.

With an internet connection, EarthDesk displays real-time global cloud
cover, allowing users to track hurricanes and typhoons, or simply admire our
beautiful planet. User options allow you to adjust the overall transparency
of the cloud layer.

Unique to EarthDesk is accurate rendering of moonlight on the Living Earth
satellite map. To create this stunning effect, the phase of the moon and
reflectiveness of the Earth's surface are used to determine correct
coloring of the image, ensuring a realistic view of the Earth from space.
