      hi @bibi,
      that should be no problem. I think it would be interesting to use NASA’s EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) API. There you would get two day old pictures of the globe. Here’s an example image:

      You can also view the images here.

      So if you would like to do that I can help you.

      Displaying only an static image would not be very interesting for me.

      greets Luke

          I like the idea of having some sort of dynamic data representation of earth, but im not a big fan of the nasa data.
          I like this model beter … Link

            @gizzmo this is also very interesting. It’s from the Himawari-8 satellite and almost live. there you could have very easily four different styles and you don’t need an api-key. I think your suggestions would be very complex to implement. What do you think about these pictures?

              So I made a small test here:
              [card:LukeSkywalker92/MMM-Globe]

              so I could easily make the image update every x minutes and make configs for image-size and image-style just by changing the image-path.

                  @bibi I think you have to clone it to the modules folder. otherwise MagicMirror won’t find it. Just do it the normal way.

                    I’ll have to write a readme, then I’m done.
                    If you want to use a custom picture you just have to put your link in the config file and the module automatically uses this image.
