A globe on a two-dimensional screen seems pretty dull compared to map projections that look like armadillos, butterflies, or deconstructed polygons. The azimuthal orthographic (as it's formally ...

Scientists have a new way to try to represent our spherical planet as a flat picture. It involves printing the map as a double-sided circle.

Map views of P-wave azimuthal anisotropic velocity tomography. The orientation and length of the black bars represent the fast velocity direction and amplitude of azimuthal anisotropy, respectively.

The superposition of two light beams with different amplitudes carrying only negative orbital angular momentum (OAM) gives rise to a locally positive OAM in the dark regions. This counterintuitive ...

Still, any map that isn't a globe will contain some distortions. While the north polar azimuthal projection more accurately represents most continent, it dramatically enlarges the antarctic ...

The Italian cartographer drew it using the azimuthal equidistant projection, which depicts the flattened globe with the North Pole at its center.

Figure 8 shows the numerical results of the surface azimuthal anchoring energy caused by the trapezoid grating as a function of the grating height calculated by the FEM. When the shape of the gratings ...

VERDICT False. Gleason’s map is a depiction of the earth as a globe in a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection and is not proof that the earth is flat.

But unlike the Mercator projection, Monte's map shows the world from directly above above the North Pole — a perspective now known as the north polar azimuthal projection.
