Description
It’s over 41 feet in diameter , it rotates just like the real Earth and it was created from one of the largest mapping databases in the world. Its name is Eartha™ and it is the world's largest moving globe!
Housed in a three-story glass atrium at the company's headquarters in Yarmouth, Maine, Eartha took two years to build and represents Earth as it is seen from space. Every continent is beautifully detailed, with vivid colors illustrating all levels of vegetation, major roadways and cities. Ocean depths are also completely represented.
"Eartha is the largest image of Earth ever created," says David DeLorme, CEO. "It will help us make even better maps and will help others envision how we on Earth are all connected. Eartha will instill a sense of wonder in people when they first see it and we hope they walk away from it with a better appreciation and knowledge of the world around them."
