The map data in Geoquery is in a configurable Xml file - MapSources.xml so it's relatively simple to include different tile servers for Earth images (as well as the Moon & Mars)!
I don't think you should be using 4326 for the moon :-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we have a datum that fits the size of the moon...
Good point - I didn't see an SRID that was appropriate, although I found this on the web...

Now there's just the small problem of getting it into sys.spatial_reference_systems :)
