Orbis world globes is a globemaking company located in Orcas Island in Washington State, producing inflatable replicas of Earth as seen from space called Earthballs. The globes often appear in Peace Rallies, classrooms, and museums. Orbis also partnered with NASA to use the most accurate up to date imagery from the Blue Marble project to create the most visually authentic world globes.

Background
In 1985, cartographer Eric James Morris had been inspired by the Apollo astronaut’s images of the Earth from space so much to create a globe that would display the world as it truly appears.
