Are there any current examples of non-earth Wikidata and Wikipedia-coordinates, for example?
The [English] Wikipedia coordinate system supports other planetary coordinates:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristarchus_(crater)
From the documentation:
...recognized values are: mercury, venus, moon, mars, phobos, deimos, ceres, vesta, ganymede, callisto, io, europa, mimas, enceladus, tethys, dione, rhea, titan, hyperion, iapetus, phoebe, miranda, ariel, umbriel, titania, oberon, triton, and pluto.
On the raw version of the item for Aristarchus crater ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Export/Q542806 ) , you can see a reference to the coordinates being associated with globe https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q405 (moon)
There is similar support for celestial coordinates:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnard%27s_Star
Not sure how Wikidata currently supports any of these.
Im not sure about celestial coordinates. It looks like this may not be supported yet.
