Here’s something that’s (almost) out of this world. + +‘[Himawaripy][1]‘ is a small Python 3 script that fetches a near-real time picture of Earth taken by the [Japanese Himawari 8 weather satellite][2] and sets it as your desktop background. + +Once installed you can set the app to run as a cron job every 10 minutes (in the background, naturally) so that it can fetch and set a realtime picture of Earth as your desktop wallpaper. + +Because Himawari-8 is a geostationary satellite you’re only ever going to images of the earth as seen from above Australasia — but with real time weather patterns, cloud formations and lighting it’s still makes for spectacular scene, even if seeing things above the UK would be better for me! + +Advanced settings allow you to configure the quality of the images pulled from the satellite , but keep in mind that any increase in quality will result in an increased file size, and a longer download wait! + +Lastly, while this script is very similar to many others that we’ve covered over the years it is up-to-date and working. + +Get Himawaripy +Himawaripy has been tested on a range of desktop environments, including Unity, LXDE, i3, MATE and a host of other desktop environments.
