Adding a [`box`](https://cesium.com/docs/cesiumjs-ref-doc/Entity.html?classFilter=entit#box) to an entity positioned at [`Cartesian3.ZERO`](https://cesium.com/downloads/cesiumjs/releases/1.60/Build/Documentation/Cartesian3.html?classFilter=cartes#.ZERO) causes a crash.
```
const box = viewer.entities.add({
position: Cesium.Cartesian3.ZERO,
box: {
dimensions: new Cesium.Cartesian3(100.0, 100.0, 100.0),
material: Cesium.Color.BLUE.withAlpha(0.25)
}
});
```
Crash Log:
```
An error occurred while rendering. Rendering has stopped.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the crash from the linked Sandcastle example with an entity at Cartesian3.ZERO. Start by tracing GeographicProjection.project and updateBatchTableBoundingSpheres from the reported stack, then verify that adding the box no longer stops rendering and that ordinary positioned entities still work.
