LithoSphere is a completely free and open-sourced tile-based 3D globe renderer. First built within the Geographical Information System (GIS) application [MMGIS](https://github.com/NASA-AMMOS/MMGIS), LithoSphere has been pulled out and refactored into a standalone, mapping focused, JavaScript library. At its core sits the brilliant [Three.js](https://threejs.org/) library with all its extensible familiarity.
