OSX Planet

I love EarthDesk it’s really neat. However it costs money and I am a cheap bastard. OSX Planet is an open source application that does the same thing. Some great things like 30 minute updating cloud cover, earthquake points, volcanoes, even satellites!

I love the idea that a community can make something like this that is free and yet updates with regular accurate data. This is what more FOSS should be. OSX Planet is available on Sourceforge here.

    But EarthDesk looks quite a bit better and IMHO is worth the small price.
