While looking for dual screen wallpapers at work one day I stumbled across what I find to be the last wallpaper you will ever need. Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator for Windows. It runs whenever you’re logged on and updates your wallpaper with an accurate representation of the Earth as it would be seen from space at that precise moment. The imagery is based on NASA’s Blue Marble Next and Earth’s City Lights.

Take an image of the world and allow it to update itself during times of day and night and give you a guess at the cloud cover worldwide. That’s what Desktop Earth is. It’s an amazing product and fairly customizable. You can follow the sunrise around the world, you can follow darkness around the world, you can center your wallpaper on your continent or time zone, or you can change that amount of city lights you see during darkness. The options are practically limitless and your wallpaper will constantly be changing.

Desktop Earth puts the world on your desktop and provides you with the last wallpaper you will ever need.
