Is that simulated or real? Looks semi-fake.

As similar map can be found using EarthDesk which is very neat. I use it when I need some entertainment.

it looks like the weather patterns are consistent with whats been going on, at least in my neck of the woods. it would be a lot of work to fake these.

They aren't photographs, if that's what you mean.

"this website shows CGI images of Earth from Space"

its animated, so no its not a "real" shot. and duplicating clouds/weather etc is fairly simple after its programmed. but its still cool

I love Earth-Desk...  I know as soon as that dusk line hits the east coast of the UK it's about time to go home.

Unfortunatley when it's still sunny in Iraq you're gonna be stuck for a while.
