Earth Phase

Description: Interesting and qualitatively done animated mini-application, which shows the current Earth phase. It means that you can graphically see where it is night and where it is day at the moment. Has a lot of settings, in particular you may choose your country and city, so that the globe will position itself according to it. Except that you may set the zoom up to 600 pixels.
Will suit fine for desktop with 'space' wallpapers or with gadget Moon Phase, which will complete the design perfectly. By the way, you may turn the globe with cursor (press and turn while holding left button of the mouse). Gadget was tested and work on Windows 7 x 86 and on 64-bit version with installed last version of Adobe Flash.
In settings you may also indicate Earth map texture type and turn off/on reflection of the lights in the dark part of globe. By the way, these lights are created by street lights and buildings of our megalopolises, which means, by lighted accommodations.
