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
mars {{coord|22.697|N|48.222|W|globe:mars}} 22°41′49″N 48°13′19″W / 22.697°N 48.222°W / 22.697; -48.222
venus {{coord|5|S|351|E|globe:venus}} 5°S 351°E / 5°S 351°E / -5; 351

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.
