ActiveEarth

Version
2.0
ActiveEarth is a world time clock with a gorgeous
day/night merge of NASA's Visible Earth satellite
images in flat maps or a globe, with a row of user-
definable clocks along the bottom. These clocks are
beautiful, scalable, ticking, analog clocks that come
in several styles with many custom settings. Each
clock is set to a city of your choice. The program has
accurate time zone data for more than 500, major world
cities and you can add your own.
ActiveEarth is an indespensable time utility. A
graphical time difference between two cities quickly
answers the question, "Is this a good time to call my
friend on the other side of the planet?" Along with
the real time view of the day and night portions of
the earth, ActiveEarth calculates astronomical data
for each city; sunrise, sunset, moon rise and set,
moon phase, etc. All of these things are beautifully,
graphically displayed. You can set the program to
display data for a specific time. ActiveEarth can even
keep your PC's clock synchronized to an atomic time
server.
You can track important future events with countdown
clocks! ActiveEarth allows you to countdown to future
astronomical events and to specify your own custom
events. The program can play an alarm sound to help
you remember a birthday or anniversary.
Finally, ActiveEarth comes with a screen saver that
ties into the main program. Your favorite clocks or
countdown events can be displayed with your favorite
map view while your PC is idle.
