Flat Earth Map - Gleason's New Standard Map Of The World - Large 24 x 36 1892

Product Information

In France and Russia this projection is named "Postel projection" after Guillaume Postel, who used it for a map in 1581. NASA has published images of the earth from space, noting the “ancient Greeks believed the Earth was round and calculated its circumference with remarkable accuracy” ( here). An interactive Java Applet to study the metric deformations of the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection. The antipode for Los Angeles is in the south Indian Ocean hence there is not much significant distortion of land masses for the Los Angeles centered map except for East Africa and Madagascar.

New correct map of the flat surface, stationary earth

The distance from the center point to another projected point ρ is the arc length along a great circle between them on the globe. For example if the operator is looking to receive signals from a distant radio station, this type of projection could help identify the direction of the distant radio station. From the map’s patent, we know the author was aware and in full knowledge that the map was just a projection of the spherical Earth, contradictory to the claims in his book. Azimuthal equidistant projection maps can also be useful to show ranges of missiles, as demonstrated by the map centered on North Korea showing the country's missile range. The Global Positioning System (GPS) technology they power also demonstrates that the world is round.Richard Feynman once said that in physics when we are stuck, when all the old methods don’t work, then the new trick, the new method that is going to work, is going to look very different from anything we have seen before. While it may have been used by ancient Egyptians for star maps in some holy books, [1] the earliest text describing the azimuthal equidistant projection is an 11th-century work by al-Biruni.

Jason Steffen, an assistant professor in physics and astronomy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, told Reuters that the south pole “is the entire edge of the map, and the ring is Antarctica. GeographicLib provides a class for performing azimuthal equidistant projections centered at any point on the ellipsoid. On page 350, he mentions “a new map of the world as it is” and says, “it contains all the continents and principal islands and rivers of the world, also, all the principal cities of the earth. Charles Bennett, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkins University, said that representing a 3D object such as the earth in 2D is impossible “on the flat pages of an atlas,” which is why projections are used, but they are not accurate depictions of the earth’s shape.Gleason’s map could conceptually be made by placing a flat horizontal paper just above a translucent globe whose north pole is at the top; then placing a bright LED at the south pole and making each feature according to where its shadow falls on the paper,” Goldhaber-Gordon said. With the circumference of the Earth being approximately 40,000km (24,855mi), the maximum distance that can be displayed on an azimuthal equidistant projection map is half the circumference, or about 20,000km (12,427mi). e. the other antenna being communicated with) and uses the map to determine the azimuth angle needed to point the operator's antenna.

In May 1893, Gleason patented the invention of the “New Standard Map of the World”, a projection of the earth centered on the north pole, which can be found ( here).All points along a given azimuth will project along a straight line from the center, and the angle θ that the line subtends from the vertical is the azimuth angle. The shadow [earth] casts on the moon during an eclipse is round, regardless of where the moon is in the sky,” Steffen said. If the azimuthal equidistant projection map is centered about a point whose antipodal point lies on land and the map is extended to the maximum distance of 20,000km (12,427mi) the antipode point smears into a large circle. I and my colleagues Dave Goldberg and Bob Vanderbei (who invented the “ Purple America” map for showing election results) have produced what we believe to be the most accurate flat map of the Earth ever made.

The answer is one in which the North Pole appears at the center of the north side of the phonograph record, with longitude lines spreading out equally from it where the scale on each longitude line is uniform, and similarly for the south side. Distances between cities are measured by simply stretching a string between them; if they are in opposite hemispheres, the string simply stretches across the equator at the edge of the map.Experts told Reuters that Antarctica is clearly visible as the white ring on the perimeter of the map, contrary to claims by social media users that the continent is not shown.
