+Xearth sets the X root window to an image of the Earth, as seen
+from your favorite vantage point in space, correctly shaded for
+the current position of the Sun. By default, xearth updates the
+displayed image every five minutes; the time between updates can
+be changed using either X resources or a command line
+option. Xearth can also be configured to render into a top-level X
+window or directly into PPM and GIF files; see the man page for
+details.
