About SpaceEye is an open source desktop app which sets live, publicly available satellite imagery as your desktop background. New images are downloaded approximately every 10 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 12 views of the Earth from 5 different geostationary weather satellites: Himawari-8, GOES-17 (West), GOES-16 (East), Meteosat-8, and Meteosat-11. This list will hopefully be expanded in the future.
