This Konfabulator/ yahoo widget provides a simple rotating globe that can rotate at two speeds. The animation comes from thirty six medium resolution images, played one after the other, frame by frame giving a simulation of the rotating earth.

This widget is a javascript/XML creation that uses the Konfabulator Yahoo javascript widget engine.

In the images shown above the rotating earth widget is layered on top my orrery widget, (in fact I am just making changes to that too so that it will incorporate the spinning earth function by default).

This is now version 1.0.1 which fixes a bug with regard to running commands on Mac OS/X and it also makes sure it does not get lost too when pushed too far off-screen.
