Brought to you by:

$ bash /path/to/the/script/folder/planet_slideshow.sh -h
to get the instructions and most common usage patterns.
NOTE! it is best to start it with bash, not by making it executable and starting it with ./planet_slideshow.sh
The following programs must be present in your path:
- "nice" : used to perform all the computations of the script with lower CPU priority
- "xplanet" : it will render 3D Earth, Moon. You do not need any image maps, the script uses its own.
- "convert": part of the ImageMagick, performs layering, composition, etc. of all involved images
- "pom" : optional, to compute the current phase of the moon. It is usually found in "BSD classic text games" packages.
