NASA TV does it fairly regularly, but I always thought there should be a stream that shows live satellite views of the Earth 24/7. Just switch between satellites when one crosses over to the night side.

They at least have an ISS live stream going most of the time, but it's pretty boring at night or when they lose coverage

Oh nice, I didn't know it was constant now. It used to just be on between shows. Still, yeah, they need something to cover the day side all the time.

Edit: That said, it appears to be down at the moment.
