EarthDesk converts your Macintosh desktop into a beautiful, real-time image of our planet, continuously updating in the background while you work. With four maps and eleven projections to choose from, these stunning images are the perfect addition to your Macintosh.

EarthDesk features near real-time clouds, accurate sun, moon, and city lighting, moonlight reflection, and high-quality twilight shading.

Features:

Crisp, Realistic Images
• 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.

Global Cloud Cover
• EarthDesk displays near real-time global cloud cover (internet access required), letting you track storms and volcanic eruptions, or simply admire our beautiful planet. You can also adjust the overall transparency of the cloud layer.
• Standard resolution clouds are free, while high-resolution clouds require a separate cloud key.

Gazetteer
• EarthDesk's gazetteer uses the same database as Time Palette, providing detailed geographical information for 10,000 cities worldwide. Your selected cities can now be labeled on the map.

Customizable
• EarthDesk's new Presets option lets you name and save collections of settings - even for multiple screens. Toggle between them with ease!
• New to EarthDesk 6 is the ability to watch the sun, moon and International Space Station move across the screen. You can also add grid lines, such as the equator or the Arctic Circle.
• With so many options at your fingertips, gazing at the Earth from space has never been easier!
