Pieter van den Keere (c. 1571-c. 1645) was a Flemish engraver, publisher and globe maker who came to England as a Protestant refugee. Settling in Amsterdam in 1593, he continued to work and began engraving a series of miniature county maps for the British Isles Atlas in 1599. His works also include a map of Ireland, urban panoramas of Utrecht, Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris, as well as a collection of world maps Van den Keere's work here was actually based on a1594 world map by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622). Plancius was a notable figure of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
After the fiasco of the 2K Jumbo puzzle with missing pieces, this made a pleasant remedy. Edges and top and bottom colourful scenes were completed first, followed by the yellow circular lines. That left the two maps themselves to assemble. Finished yesterday evening.
After completion I did a double-check to make sure we'd not done this one before (they all look the same to me!). Sure enough, we've made this image although not this particular version. In my wooden puzzle stash I have a Nautilus purchased last year through eBay...

Original caption: On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft made its historic flight through the Pluto system. This detailed, high-quality global mosaic of Pluto was assembled from nearly all of the highest-resolution images obtained by the Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) and the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on New Horizons.
The mosaic is the most detailed and comprehensive global view yet of Pluto’s surface using New Horizons data. It includes topography data of the hemisphere visible to New Horizons during the spacecraft’s closest approach. The topography is derived from digital stereo-image mapping tools that measure the parallax – or the difference in the apparent relative positions – of features on the surface obtained at different viewing angles during the encounter. Scientists use these parallax displacements of high and low terrain to estimate landform heights.
The global mosaic has been overlain with transparent, colorized topography data wherever on the surface stereo data is available. Terrain south of about 30°S was in darkness leading up to and during the flyby, so is shown in black. Examples of large-scale topographic features on Pluto include the vast expanse of very flat, low-elevation nitrogen ice plains of Sputnik Planitia ("P") – note that all feature names in the Pluto system are informal – and, on the eastern edge of the encounter hemisphere, the aligned, high-elevation ridges of Tartarus Dorsa ("T") that host the enigmatic bladed terrain, mountains, possible cryovolcanos, canyons, craters and more.
Mosaics and topography maps are also available in equirectangular projection at an equatorial pixel scale of 300 meters (985 feet) per pixel, and in uncompressed jpeg format as well as in cube format; the latter can be read using the USGS ISIS Planetary Image Processing Software.
All maps were producing using radii of 1188.3 kilometers/738.3 miles for Pluto and 606 kilometers/376.6 miles for Charon. The JPEG of the grayscale Digital Elevation Maps (DEMs) for Pluto display an elevation scale stretch of -3 (black) to +4 (white).

Malaysia used to be called Malacca. Which if you speak Greek, you'll do a bit of a double take over.
Sketch showing the principle of using two pairs of radii, each pair centred on the distant vanishing points – for 2-point perspective – both horizontal and vertical. As long as these radii can be drawn it doesn't matter how far the VPs are away from the drawing centre. Using visual angular interpolation to work between the nearest points is not difficult, obviously the more angle points there are the easier it is. This method, I find, is far preferable to making (and numbering) marks on straight lines, because those marks are not equi-spaced, whereas those on a radius are.
This method is easily extended to cover 3 & 4 point perspective drawing

Position: 39.30N 52.34W
Weather: Clear, occasional rain, occasional cloud
Wind: W 15 to 19 knots
Heave: 2 m
We are in the high pressure system, but the weather is not stable.
The tide movement is affecting to our speed over the ground reads over 7 knots on GPS.
At this point, we still have west wind, thus we are sure that it was a good decision to go down south.
The fist storm that we had was showed on the weather map light blue and the size was much smaller than the one we had in winter, thus we thought it wouldn't be so bad. However, the wave was hard and it went over 5 m occasionally. This might be a character of the low pressure on the Atlantic.
This time we decided to go down south to avoid the strong wind according to the weather map. We will mark the longest Day run today!

Green means open data. Red means closed data. Circles centered on the transit agency. Circle area is proportional to transit agency size in annual passenger miles. Only agencies with entries in the federally-maintained National Transit Database are represented, which is almost all of them.
The infamous house on the hill looms over Los Angeles like an old friend, long forgotten to time and sits empty waiting for anyone to fully understand the stories that the walls have witnessed first hand.
It was here Dr. Harold Perelson on the eve of December 6th, 1959 had gone mad, killing his wife with the intent of killing their three children as well. When the eldest daughter escaped and got help, Dr. Perelson had taken his life and let the house and its tragedies be lost to history.
Despite the house being handed over to a woman, and later her son, the house was left as a time capsule with no one daring to live within those walls since the murder all those decades ago. For the first time, the time capsule has been open and welcomed its first visitors outside of its owner to explore the ballroom on the top floor and old fashioned bar, the four master bedrooms, gorgeous staircase, and the evidence of life left behind.
Muni is testing an animated map showing the position of all the trains in the entire system.
This replaces a feed from Central Control that was hard to read, but had one advantage in showing whether trains were one or two-car.
What I really need that's not shown here are arrival times. Being able to see N-Judah's bunched up in the avenues doesn't tell me when the next one will arrive. And without any landmarks I can't use this to find a stop unless it's a station or at a line's outer terminal.
Like most of Muni the only directions given are Inbound and Outbound. One of the most common questions riders ask is which way is downtown, but rather than just say "downtown" riders are expected to learn Muni terminology.
I'm not actually at that location lol very near though :)
I'm loving this application. I never installed it on my Pearl. Was too slow & would never attempt that haha
Day 10 of my 30 days of watches is a side scrolling world map based on NASA's topo map. The current "noon" is highlighted under the yellow sun, so the map makes one rotation per day. The local time is displayed around the tropic of Capricorn. When the button is pressed the world spins to display the map.

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter and the Great Red Spot, projected (by NASA) from a sphere to a rectangle.
Jupiter is the king of the solar system, more massive than all of the other solar-system planets combined. Although astronomers have been observing the gas-giant planet for hundreds of years, it still remains a mysterious world.
Astronomers don't have definitive answers, for example, of why cloud bands and storms change colors, or why storms shrink in size. The most prominent long-lasting feature, the Great Red Spot, has been downsizing since the 1800s. However, the giant storm is still large enough to swallow Earth.
The Red Spot is anchored in a roiling atmosphere that is powered by heat welling up from the monster planet’s deep interior, which drives a turbulent atmosphere. In contrast, sunlight powers Earth's atmosphere. From Jupiter, however, the Sun is much fainter because the planet is much farther away from it. Jupiter's upper atmosphere is a riot of colorful clouds, contained in bands that whisk along at different wind speeds and in alternating directions. Dynamic features such as cyclones and anticyclones (high-pressure storms that rotate counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere) abound.
Attempting to understand the forces driving Jupiter's atmosphere is like trying to predict the pattern cream will make when it is poured into a hot cup of coffee. Researchers are hoping that Hubble's yearly monitoring of the planet—as an interplanetary weatherman—will reveal the shifting behavior of Jupiter's clouds. Hubble images should help unravel many of the planet's outstanding puzzles. This new Hubble image is part of that yearly study, called the Outer Planets Atmospheres Legacy program, or OPAL.
