The ridiculous map that Mareno drew for me. There's one street on the map, labeled "street." There's also one building on the map.
High Altitude Ballooning III: Predicted path and landing site. Not a very straight line this time, but only 22 miles away compared to 150+ for the previous launch
Edited New Horizons map of Pluto.

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).
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #18. View large to see all the silliness!
My in-laws own property in northern Wisconsin. As it is more than 20 miles from the nearest "official" fire station, the neighborhood has a volunteer group. About 15 years ago a local artist drew this map with everyone's property labeled., including my in-laws' who are on Round Lake. Businesses who made a contribution got their phone numbers listed on it and it was sold as part of the fire fighters' fund raiser.
A two day trip to visit Erik. Started out early Sunday morning and took only secondary roads; had it all to myself. Nice and warm, blue skies - what more do you need?
Together we explored the northern part of Langeland Monday before I went home again. Took secondary roads all the way back too and arrived home around 9 in the evening.
This is our current working map of the spheres. Note that some of the spheres already explored have a shorthand listing of the system (this will be added to periodically as the group explores more territory further away from their home sphere.)
