daynightglobe: Earth globe showing light pollution
on the dark side.
Uses a cloud layer and a clipping plane.
This is the one that's had the most development at this point.
You can start the Earth rotating, or speed it up, with the right arrow

directional-light: a simple shadow on the
Earth.
This has a blurry shadow -- but it's actually too blurry and
I haven't found any way to change that, and there's no way to show
those dark-side lights.
daynightglobe-preview: uses images generated by a Python script.
Sorry, can't preview this one in Github Pages, though it's more like
I'd like the other two to look. In Python I have control over the
two layers and the terminator between them, but it has to generate
a new image for each date and time, so it's not really practical for
a web app.
