Huh, I remember xearth. It would move the stars every time it redrew itself. I wanted to have it update every second for some reason, and that was distracting, so I patched it to add an option to not do that. Then I couldn't find a maintainer to send it to, so I didn't share it.

I se up xearth to approximate the view from the ISS, at the appropriate orbital velocity. But with a decent refresh rate, what a CPU hog it was.
