Scott,

Thanks for replying.

I was following trying to follow this tutorial but specifically for the Google Earth map, I am trying to figure out how to display the globe based off the tutorial this is what I came with for the helloworld html but it does not work  
here is my code if you can explain why its not why and maybe correct it I would greatly appreciate it.

Is ‘[http://earth.localdomain](http://earth.localdomain/)’ the correct URL for your local Google Earth Enterprise Server? Also check the channel parameter. See the documentation: [http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Documentation/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.html](http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Documentation/GoogleEarthImageryProvider.html)

Alright, I think I maybe a bit confused. I am just doing research on seeing how cesium interacts with the different imageryproviders, so I am trying them out, this is why I was confused specifically with the Google Earth Imagery Provider. Bing and ArcGis had URL that could point to without hosting the server myself.

To get Google Earth to work properly I need to host the Google Server myself is that correct?

Correct. Google does not allow third party applications to access the public Google Earth servers. Google Earth Enterprise is a paid product.
