Free Live images of Earth on your Desktop
Would you like to be greeted every day with a beautiful image of the ‘Blue Planet’ as you log into your PC? You can view Earth as if you were looking from Sky with Desktop Earth, a free wallpaper generator for Windows. Desktop Earth displays a fresh satellite image of Earth as wallpaper on your desktop. It can be set to update the image every day at a specified time. So you will actually be seeing the real Earth as it looks from space at that moment. 
What more, you can also set the View region of Earth and choose to display a layer of clouds every few hours or so. The Cloud overlay whose thickness can be specified is served from a set of Internet servers. Desktop Earth runs in the system tray whenever you log in. The wallpaper which is a high-resolution (2560×1280) JPEG image works with any kind of display, even SVGA. It is perfect for a QSXGA display. The imagery is based on NASA’s Blue Marble Next and Earth’s City Lights. Desktop Earth can be used for a regular desktop wallpaper or as an Active Desktop item. Monthly images of Earth let you view changes like snow cover and foliage over the period. The night view of Earth, especially the City Lights view is very beautiful.
