Hello all, Does Cesium support Mars or other planetary imagery currently? or does Cesium team have plans to make Cesium support Mars and other planetary in the future? I am interested in how to use Cesium to display some Mars data. Thanks, Steven

AFAIK, you only need the data to be projected in an 'earth coordinate system', nasa, jpl suplies mars imagery in 4326. I would try this approach first

Check out this: http://devtopics.de/2013/06/20/putting-cesium-on-mars-part-1/ Cesium uses Ellipsoid.WGS84 by default to define the shape of the globe. For a Mars app, you should change this to use the ellipsoid definition for Mars. There’s not a trivial way to do this right now, but you could jus…

Hi Christian, I cannot project data on an Earth coordinate system, because the top priority of my app is accuracy. My app is to test and verify some data products. Thanks for the reply. Steven 在 2014年7月7日星期一UTC-7上午1时46分36秒，Christian Ledermann写道：

To change the ellipsoid used by the globe to use the Mars ellipsoid, you’ll need to create a new Globe object and pass in an ellipsoid with the appropriate x/y/z values. For example: var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer(…); viewer.scene.globe = new Cesium.Globe(new Cesium.Ellipsoid(…)); You’ll then ne…

Is there a reason we don’t have an option to CesiumWidget and Viewer to specify a different Globe to use? Seems like it would be a easy change to make since the CesiumWidget constructor is simply creating the WGS84 Globe instance itself anyway.

I’d love to be able to use new planets/moons to display NASA science data. If there were a relatively easy way to define new bodies with body-specific geometry, that would make a big impression with our community. I expect, once such a feature were available, the community could create definitions f…

Not sure this one is as necessary as there is already an ellipsoid for the moon in Cesium.
