TerraVista 0.4.2 is utilities software developed by Roman Schlegel.
TerraVista is a small application which displays the current day/night cycle of the earth using OpenGL. It uses textures made from satellite images for the day and the nightside to make it look realistic and the newest release also downloads real-time cloud cover images from the internet for an even more realistic experience.
The view location (i.e. the angle from which the earth is seen) can be customized either using a preferences dialog or by command-dragging the earth. The floating window which displays the earth can also be made translucent and the brightness of the nightside can be changed.

What's New:

  • Added Italian localization (thanks to Claudio)
  • Added German localization
  • Performance improvements (up to 4 times faster when calculating textures)
  • Small bugfixes.
    This mac program is freeware, so you can download and use it absolutely free. TerraVista 0.4.2 supports english interface languages and works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading TerraVista 0.4.2 will take minute if you use fast ADSL connection.
