Sunclock 3.57 (not written by me; formerly hosted at http://www.arvernes.com/wiki/index.php/Sunclock)

Excerpt from the Sunclock README (complete version is in sunclock directory)

Sunclock is a sophisticated clock for the X Window system. It is based on an earlier version by John Mackin, itself derived from the Suntools program by John Walker.

Sunclock displays a map of the Earth and shows which portion is illuminated by the sun. It can commute between two states, the "clock window" and the "map window". The clock window displays a small map of the Earth and therefore occupies little space on the screen, while the "map window" displays a large map and offers more advanced functions: local time of cities, Sun and Moon position, etc.
