What's On My Computer

This is a still from a celestial animation program called Celestia:

It's a model of the International Space Station, of course. I can't identify which coastline it's flying over at the moment, but it's a very realistic view of Earth from this distance.

Celestia won't do this right out of the box, but if you select the right textures and models from the Celestia Motherlode, you can have similarly realistic scenes of Earth or other planets on you screen when it's not doing anything else.

Yes, it's all free, as in libre and beer.
