As if all those features were not enough, the ActiveEarth map can be set as your desktop background and it can operate as your screen saver! ActiveEarth will update the desktop background every four minutes so that the sun will move in near real time across your screen.

The screen saver can display the map, globe, corner objects, clocks, or countdown clocks. The globe can animate smoothly between cities as it moves around the screen. It also supports multiple monitors.

If you look closely at the image below, you can see also that ActiveEarth even is aware of which hemishpere you live in, providing hemisphere-aware season dates and a more correct view of the moon!
