Desktop Earth is a completely free application that changes the background of the Desktop to a realistic image of the Earth. Unlike EarthDesk, this image is static, which is updated every minute indicated in the settings. In addition, Desktop Earth allows you to observe the current position of clouds, sun, moon and city lighting.

In addition, a useful option of the application is the function of minimizing the displayed image to a small window, which can be freely set on the desktop of the system. Desktop Earth uses about 10 MB of RAM.
