Eartha, Rotating globe at DeLorme headquarters in Yarmouth, Maine
The globe measures 41 feet in diameter, weighs 5,600 pounds, and rotates on a specialized cantilever mount system within a three-story glass atrium.
Completed in 1998 after two years of construction, Eartha surpassed previous record holders including a 33-foot globe in Italy and a 28-foot globe in Massachusetts.
The globe's surface consists of 792 panels displaying detailed geographical information from satellite imagery, including roads, cities, and topographical features at 1:1,000,000 scale.
Visitors can observe the globe from three different levels corresponding to the South Pole, Equator, and Greenland during regular business hours Monday through Sunday.
The globe completes one full rotation every 18 minutes while mounted at a 23.5-degree angle, accurately representing Earth's natural axial tilt.
