+Xplanet renders planetary and solar system images. It can be used to create
+computer wallpapers or single images. Xplanet can show city names, overlay
+cloud maps or display which regions of Earth are day or night. Xplanet can
+be used to produce projected maps based on several projections, such as
+mollweide, which show the whole earth at once, or mercator, which is
+rectangular and is suitable for filling the screen.
+
+See /usr/share/xplanet for maps, config files, scripts, and so on.
