Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of the details that makes the globe feel more alive.

Thanks a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed the globe, I agree that it’s fun watching in real time. Happy to hear the Python code was helpful too, and I appreciate the GitHub star!

I wanted to visualize global time and daylight cycles in a way that moved beyond the typical 2D map or static list. By using a custom spatial data pipeline and a 3D visualization engine, I built Oclock to render the Earth's day-night interface within a real-time, interactive environment. This is an open-source project, and I’d love for the community to check it out!
