No one’s contemplating, as Conrad suggested in “The Secret Agent,” blowing up the prime meridian, in the form of the Greenwich Observatory.

Bull Meecham was approaching that prime meridian of inebriation that his wife, his sons, and his daughters, based on a grievously embattled history, had come to fear.

The Distracted Globe was located at the western-hemisphere intersection of the Boulevard and the Avenue, two brightly lit streets that stretched completely around the planet along its equator and prime meridian.

In the 1980s, new satellite data helped reorient the prime meridian 334 feet to the east, where it now runs through a park.
