The globe: parameter indicates a non-terrestrial location, that is, one on a world other than Earth. Legal values include: Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury. For example:

G Markup Result
moon {{coord|0|40|26.69|N|23|28|22.69|E|globe:moon}} 0°40′26.69″N 23°28′22.69″E / 0.6740806°N 23.4729694°E / 0.6740806; 23.4729694

When globe: is specified, {{coord}} does not assume a specific reference system (in contrast with Earth's WGS84). Only limited mapping is available for the Moon and Mars and none for other bodies. For celestial coordinates, use {{Sky}} instead.
