Man something like that would be great in science classrooms or universities. Just showing the current state of the solar system with live data.

I used to have a secondary monitor pulled up to the HD viewing project on ISS years ago where they had live streams of high resolution video feed, slowly cycling between a camera down, forward, reverse. Slowly they started to die, and they never replaced them. https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/esrs/hdev/

I still thing it changes one perspective to connect a live feed to space, and just start to take in (even tangentially) some of these live type feeds of the world outside of the manmade confines we find ourselves

Just realized you could use a top down view of the earth as a 24 hour clock. I wonder if that exists already.
I feel the same way after looking at the Sun feed and space in general, there's something calming about it
