SpaceEye is an open source desktop app which sets live, publicly available satellite imagery as your desktop background.
New images are downloaded approximately every 20 minutes to an hour (depending on the view), giving an up-to-date, high resolution view of the Earth from space.
Currently, the app provides 10 views of the Earth from 3 different geostationary weather satellites: Himawari-8, GOES-17 (West), and GOES-16 (East). This list will hopefully be expanded in the future.
Special thanks to NOAA STAR and the Regional and Mesoscale Meteorology Branch (RAMMB) of NOAA/NESDIS (located at Colorado State University) for hosting the satellite imagery.
If you encounter a bug or have a feature request, please create an issue on the Issues page.
The only data collected are server logs when downloading the satellite config file. This config file contains metadata and links to the satellite images provided by NOAA and RAMMB.
