Create a world clock to show a satellite photo of the earth with the current midday at the center of the display. The map slowly scrolls across doing a complete loop every 24 hours.

This clock tracks solar time so the middle of the display is the point where the sun in highest in the sky. Solar time is usually quite close to the time our clocks show, but doesn't take into account daylight savings or timezones that are ahead or behind solar time. 

In the above photo, it's solar noon in England, so the time is 8am in New York and 5am in Los Angeles. Slightly confusingly, it's 1pm in London (because of daylight savings time).

You'll need something like the following to power and program your clock.

If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print out your support for the clock. Alternatively, you can fabricate a support out of whatever you like. It would be fairly straightforward to make one out of wood or foam board. The mounting points on the LCD take M2 machine screws (or other screws that will fit through a 0.1 inch hole).
