The globe: parameter indicates the planet or natural satellite upon which the coordinates reside. Apart from earth (the default), legal values include: moon, mars, venus, mercury, ganymede, and titan.

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.
