I’ll take the accolades any way I can get them. ;-)

Thank you for the module. It runs very well but I tried to fix a certain position thus in case of restart it still shows the same view of earth (like Europe in the middle). I saw that you use https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-101.59,35.46,441 and thought by modifying the numbers it would change the view but somehow it always starts with a kind of default view. Using https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=0.04,35.19,441 works in a normal browser but it does not work on MagicMirror.
Any guidance?

@carstend

Yes, I haven’t figured out why it does that. For now, the module is usable as it is. You’ll just have to manually move the image to the orientation of your liking. (I have to, too!) I’ll update the repo if/and when I discover a fix

Nice work. I second the option to add a starting location.

I also am running it as 300px x 300px and I have scroll bars, is there a way to remove them? Maybe a CSS tweak, have not tried.

Feel free to modify the module in any way you like. I designed it as a background module. In the meantime, I’ll take a look at the starting location issue. Frankly, I’m baffled as to why it defaults to that location.

Not quite as impressive as the real pictures that MMM-EARTH displays of Hurricane Florence as it tracks towards the Carolinas, but pretty damn cool.
