Default old BBC review: visual satellite screensaver

Science on the web:

Our Planet Earth From Space
http://satellite.ehabich.info

"Our Planet Earth From Space" is a website being totally dedicated to
displaying CGI images of Earth from Space. Click through to the
explanation
pages first so you can understand the keys and symbols that are
displayed.
The maps are really impressive, updated every 20 minutes, with all
earthquakes of the past 48 hours, current cloud cover, hurricanes,
active
volcanoes, satellites, day and night zones, and the moon phases
indicated on
them. Quite a few of you write in asking where to download cool
screensavers
and desktop wallpapers, well this site offers a good selection for
free.
There is even a range of self-updating world-image screen-savers,
which
should give you something interesting to look at when your PC goes
idle.
You'll need a permanent connection to the internet to make it work at
its
best.

Further to say that there is no spyware, nor adware programs are
installed.
Further, the text in Kate Russells BBC commentary listing "pop-up ads"
is
incorrect.
The desktop backgrounds feature a moving ad banner, which is not the
same as
a pop-up.
