I recall of a wall paper/screen saver, which would fetch satellite images of |
| 18 |
the globe and update your desktop (almost) in real time. |

I think it used this link. |

The same script with a satellite that captures and feeds images away from |
| 25 |
Earth as opposed towards it should come close enough to what you're after. |

Not sure if this helps. If it does, unlike a simulator like Kstars it will |
| 27 |
of course show all the latest supernova and eclipses of planets, more or |
| 28 |
less as they occur in Earth time. |
