Thanks, but it's only for show :-) not meant to be "100%" astronomically
correct.  I put the Sun at -23.5 and the camera at +23.5 degrees.  The
rotations are: once for the camera, twice for the Earth.  That way it shows a
lot of the surface at both night and day.  The gradient masking textures are
stationary, as is the Sun.
