On the globe as it spins
but spinning in the opposite direction
(if that works)
Otherwise with the flow of the plasma ball . . .

We need a 3D Man
Also in terms of textures . . .
In 2D we have created an optical illusion
(mostly movement) from static images
What 2D textures when spinning create
a 4D effect?
Not sure but that would be worth seeing . . .

Making the gif small (in size - like a postage stamp)
is also possible . . .

That image is interesting because
it is used in science, religious and art projects
it seems to appeal across disciplines . . .
