Night & Day View with time zones

It would be great to see the globe change from night to day and show time zone markings. Also a Winter and Summer mode to explain to kids how there is more sunlight on one hemisphere than the other.

It may be too hard to get zoomed in views and add lights from the cities, but just showing where day becomes night would be great.

Hm. Interesting idea - I like it. Probably would require coding, though, so it may be tough.

Try the SVS / MODIS....it's got a lot of layers of different things, there's probably something along these lines in there.

There's certainly an "Earth at Night" image somewhere.

But as you say...nothing to do exactly what you want, it's all static imagery. Still good to see though!
