+From the xearth(1) manual page:
+
+"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 with the -wait option
+(see below); updates can be disabled completely by using
+the -once option (see below). Xearth can also render
+directly into PPM and GIF files instead of drawing in the
+root window; see the -ppm and -gif options (below)."
