Show the position of GE in real time in relation to the sun.


Sun position currently must be set manually.

Good idea, since that is in Earth, why not the API?

A nice implementation would be to simply specify what datetime it should be at the
location you are looking at.

The sun is now in the current real time position as of 5.0.11655.6079. The time
slider UI shows up when the sun is visible.

See the release notes, new Google Earth Plugin 5.0 samples, and updated v1.002 API
reference for more details.
