## 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.

State University) for providing the satellite imagery.
