Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

Not a problem but rather an amusing constatation for the Interplanetary filesystem to display a planar map of only one planet (though arguably the most important one).

https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/blob/main/docs/screenshots/ipfs-webui-peers.png

**Describe the solution you'd like**

While a globe (out-zoomable with possibly satellites, moons and other planets) would be nice, I realize that making it work in practice would require protocols for IP ~geo~ localization that probably aren't mainstream enough yet, if they exist at all.

Though, we're not very far technologically from having IPFS nodes in space

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

I'll gladly continue to use the current map
