The Old Map GallerySignificance can get lost over time. For some the "Gunfight at the O.K. corral" was about something, something Wyatt Earp, something Doc Holliday. Who knows... But back in the 60's a museum put out an info-graphic that anchors the event in facts. With a little study it comes out that this was the "Wild" lawless West finally being confronted by the rule of law with officers to use it. It's not just some romanticized cowboy thing, it was a culture clash. <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maps</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#map</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/dataviz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataviz</a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a>

YoraSome years ago, I saw a site on which you can switch between different map projections and select any point on the Earth as the center point. It was really cool, but I've never been able to find it again. 😕 <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maps</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/cartography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cartography</a>

Phil StookeThis set of maps zoom in to the Luna 20 landing site. In the last image an object is labelled 'Luna 20'. How do we know this is indeed the lander and not just some rock? First, it's about the right size and shape. But we can do better. Zooming further in (next post) we can see the object more clearly and especially its shadow, which is very distinctive. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maps</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#moon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/luna20" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#luna20</a>
