A globe that you can rotate through three degrees of freedom by clicking and dragging. Use the handle to move the actual widget.
Technically not a true globe, but with 128 facets, who cares?
Now with night side shading!

Larger would be nice; I need to ensure that won't kill performance, though.
Lights would be nice too, but may need to wait until I've cleaned this up.

<Nice one!>
Can you please allow me to put markers on it as for instance the latest earthquakes?
(And I want it enlarged if you please.)
</Nice one!>

Though maybe I should look into a time set option...

Well actually it is usable, and not just an academic curiosity for the mathematically inclined, it can be used to teach about seasons for example.

Great job! Now I know when it's night at the Opera office
EDIT: Man, just have to say; this is quite amazing!
EDIT #2: You should put up a new screenshot!

2) It should account for seasons; note that the shadow doesn't pass through the poles yet. It will on the equinox, if working correctly.

1) Does it update periodically while the widget is open? Or is it set only once when it is opened?
2) Does the shading rotate about the poles only, or does it account for seasonal axial tilt? The sun is currently shining pretty close to the equator so it is hard to tell.

-Now shades the night side based on the current time and date.

But it'll have to wait until I catch up on homework.

Add an option to shade the globe where it's currently night, and account for the earth's seasonal axial tilt.
Think that is possible?

I really appreciate the feedback!
