A Hemispherical Map of World Sunlight

I found this cool little map at www.opentopia.com. It shows where dusk and dawn are occurring on earth.

If you go to this site it updates the map as the day goes by. So you can see the terminator move across the earths surface just like you are viewing it from space. Kind of a neat little application.
