    NASA TV does it fairly regularly, but I always thought there should be a stream that shows live satellite views of the Earth 24/7. Just switch between satellites when one crosses over to the night side.

      In one of the last offices I worked in the military before I retired, there was a TV in the corner of the room, but the TV tuner attached to it only had one channel - NASA TV. I spent about a year by myself in that office, watching satellite views of the earth. It was very peaceful.

      They at least have an ISS live stream going most of the time, but it’s pretty boring at night or when they lose coverage

        Oh nice, I didn’t know it was constant now. It used to just be on between shows. Still, yeah, they need something to cover the day side all the time.

        Edit: That said, it appears to be down at the moment.
