"The Death Egg"

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Thing is, I knew about the Death Egg well before I had even seen Star Wars for the first time, let alone the Death Star. As far as I was concerned it was a perfectly original vehicle

I'm really familiar with world geography, but I've always imagined Sahara a little smaller than that...

 

[The Last Conformist]

It's probably the projection (Mollewide) getting you - it'd look smaller on a Mercator map.

 

[Rossiya]

You can even make out the tectonic plates!

 

[The Last Conformist]

That would be 'cos the map is from a series of maps illustrating the movement of the tectonic plates.

I like this shot, it' rare to see wolves looking anything but feral and hungry, especially in winter.

^Why is the x axis skewed so much, the Earth bulges but not that much? Is it to exaggerate drift?

They don't have any decent Earth from space shots on google images I checked, there mostly quite mediocre.

The current desktop features my favourite Cylon infiltrator.

 

[Kozmos]

I'm afraid I do not understand what your asking, exactly, but you can read more of the projection at Wikipedia.

That explains it anyway. I was just wondering why it looked like the Earth had been stretched along the horizontal or x axis.
