It is currently only possible to select the globe for a coordinate via the API. It should be possible in the UI as well.
It should also support cellestial coordinates, see: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team/Archive/2013/09#Celestial_coordinate_system

A suggestion for adding a "celestial sphere" globe for celestial coordinate system. Celestial coordinates usually used are equatorial coordinate system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_coordinate_system) and needs "right ascension" (longitude expressed in hours, where 1h = 15 degrees), "declination" (latitude) and an epoch. With setting this globe, the mask will ask "right ascension" and "declination" instead of latitude and longitude and will not ask altitude; "right ascension" (longitude) will be expressed in hours instead degrees. The epoch will be a qualifier.
