OSXplanet is a Cocoa program that is based on the popular program xplanet (by Hari Nair). It is able to generate live images of the earth as well as other planets in the solar system with additional informations such as the current clouds, storms, satellites, volcanos, earthquakes and times and locations of cities.
Version 2.0b02 Universal - 09.04.08:
OSXplanet SHOULD work with Tiger. It has not been tested at all. Please give me feedback on this.
The version is now UNIVERSAL.
A few minor bugs have been fixed
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A BETA VERSION OF OSXPLANET. IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. PLEASE REPORT BUGS BY GOING TO WWW.OSXPLANET.COM
OSXplanet is now UNIVERSAL, however, it has not been tested on a PPC machine, so please give me feedback on this. Thanks.

BOOMER This is, and has been the best program of it's type, by FAR. The graphics are superior to Earth Desk and the program is donationware. I am so happy to see it finally being developed for OSX 10.5. I donated for earlier versions and I am donating for the latest version. Everyone should give it a try. I guarantee you'll find it superior to anything else out there.

UGGERHOLT Thank you Gabriel Otte! I stopped to use this wonderful little app. some time last year – as far as I remember, it didn't work properly on Leopard. Now it's back on my desktop. Very appreciated :-)

GABRIEL OTTE To the Tiger Users - Please understand that I have no intention of abandoning development of OSXplanet for Tiger. I will try to have a Tiger version out soon, however, I can't say for sure when that will be. Thank you for your support.

CHIEFTED Oh its back and just in time for the end of Hurricane season. The only quibble I have with this is that for now I can't get the second screen to run in the dual screen mode. Not a big deal at this point since as it is posted this is a beta version and I know that there will be bugs.

BONOBO Hello Gabriel Otte, this is just to beg you to PLEASE don't abandon users of Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger". I for one am still running 10.4.11 and I'd LOVE to step up to OSXplanet 2. I'd even donate a second time if I could run OSXplanet 2 on my Tiger installation. Thanks, Tom

JAZZYGUY USING G5 (PPC) The file which is a zip file won't open. It opens into another zip file which then opens into a further zip file and so on.

MACUPDATE ADMIN The download is a .dmg file. The .bz2 suffix must be removed from the downloaded file and then the .dmg will mount. This is a well-known issue, here is one site that explains the problem: http://unsanity.org/archives/mac_os_x/my_dmg_is_bwoken_after_download.php

FREEBSD This is a phenomenal program. Working well for me on 10.5.4. Thanks so much for your continued work on this. It's a beautiful, lightweight app. Let's donate early and often!

GABRIEL OTTE Hello All. First off, I apologize for the long delay on version 2.0. My studies at Cornell University have been keeping me quite busy and having to work during the summer to make enough money to go there didn't help either. Version 2.0b01 has not been tested very much at all. I tried to test it on the computer that I have and a few others, but I didn't go through the normal private beta debugging procedures that I usually go through with my beta testers because I felt that I owed it to the users to have a version of OSXplanet that runs on Leopard ASAP. So please let me know of any bugs you find by going to www.osxplanet.com and I'll address them as soon as possible. Thank you for all your support.

MACUPDATE ADMIN This developer has been working on this app for some years now, it would be very nice if a few (or many) more people would consider donating a bit to the developer. You can do so at the developer's site: http://www.osxplanet.com/
