This is an OS X command-line script that downloads the latest DSCOVR:EPIC <http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov/> image and sets it as your desktop picture. Prerequisites: requires installing Homebrew <http://brew.sh/> and then the jshon tool (`brew install jshon`). Then you can run the command manually, or add it to your crontab.
