Eartha

Eartha is the world's largest rotating and revolving globe, located within the former headquarters of the DeLorme mapping corporation in Yarmouth, Maine.

[citation needed] The globe was completed in 1998,[3] after two years of construction and planning,[4] and it uses a composite database built from satellite imagery, shaded relief, colored bathymetry, and information about road networks and urban areas.

[5] Map technician Jeff Clark was responsible for the 792 plastic sections that cover the rotating globe.

The mounting equipment is in a large pit below floor level and is visible to visitors, but the stairway down is chained off to prevent public access.

In 1999, surveyors hired by the Guinness Book of World Records measured the globe at 41 feet 1.5 inches (12.53 m).
