Hackster.io user Emmett Walter published a detailed showcase of their beautiful northern lights build.

Finding an API to pull data for this project from was extremely straightforward, the NOAA has a database that stores the values of the visibility of the northern lights at each set of latitude and longitude coordinates. The data given from this API was formatted as follows: [longitude, latitude, Probability of Visibility (out of 100%)].

Check out their code, query and more over on Hackster.io.
