Aurora dotted map and 3D globe look

Aurora

Northern-lights bands across the planet

Aurora lays flowing northern-lights bands over the dot field: green, cyan and magenta hues that move in two crossing sine waves, modulated by screen-space luminance so the bands follow the land. cellSize controls band frequency (wider bands at lower cellSize), and motion controls flow speed. The effect pauses automatically for users with prefers-reduced-motion enabled. It also works as a still.
