DaylightMap Gadget and Mapplet

An interactive, real-time view of global day and night, including city lights on the night side. Adapted from my DaylightMap.com website. Leave it open for a few hours and watch the night creep around the globe, or leave it open for a few months and watch the midnight sun shift from one pole to the other.

Note that the basic day/night view is also available as an option on my Clouds gadget.
