This is pretty neat - and it's free:

Desktop Earth is a wallpaper generator for Windows. It runs whenever you're logged on and updates your wallpaper with an accurate representation of the Earth as it would be seen from space at that precise moment.

I have that as one of my windows on my Google Home page, along with a World Clock, so I can keep reminded what time it is where my buddies are in Iraq. I LOVE Google personal Home page!

As long as your online, it says that it keeps real time. I think that means with the light/dark part, somewhere I read that it has stored images for the weather and seasons.
