A slowly turning wireframe sphere with a lat/lon graticule, six labelled cities as raised markers, and five great-circle arcs bulged off the surface so they read in 3D. Built on ThreeDScene with a real parametric sphere, so the depth sorting is genuine. The same scene provides the transparent poster frame used on the site hero.
