About:
globe is a command-line utility that generates an ASCII art representation of the Earth, showing the currently illuminated side (day and night) based on the current time. It provides a simple, text-based visualization of global day/night cycles. Its main value is offering a quick, terminal-friendly view of Earth's lighting without graphical dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Generates ASCII art of Earth's day/night side
  • Uses current system time for accurate lighting
  • Runs entirely in the terminal with no GUI needed
  • Lightweight and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Quickly visualizing current global day/night cycle in terminals
  • Educational tool for understanding Earth's rotation and lighting
  • Adding a visual element to shell scripts or system monitoring dashboards
Alternatives:
