This looks great, congratz to Tim for getting this released (though I'll have to wait for the Linux version to actually try it).

Shameless plug: I recently built an app that also renders a view of earth, but optimized for aesthetics, with day/night cycle, seasonal ground textures, sea ice, live weather... You can set it as your wallpaper and the app keeps it up to date: https://sunlit.earth/

I like this a lot! I used to have a simulated “live feed” of the view from the ISS cupola but lost the code and sources in a backup snafu.
