Globe rotating all the time, click on canvas to unreel/reel. In this example transition is based on interpolation between two projections and map always cut along antimeridian, it creates effect of unreelling/reelling. You can see some artefacts during reeling back to globe, I guess it is because of clipping or timings overlapping, if you have any ideas how to fix it, let me know.
For other variations of transition from Orthographic to Equirectangular and back check these examples:
