First attempt at a disc-to-heart conformal mapping (e-marmotte kind of asked for it).
The original picture is here.
X-ray data from Chandra combined with the visible and near-infrared Hubble mosaic. Light from x-rays tends to occupy the places where voids have formed, likely as a result of hot winds and supernova shock waves impacting the walls of the cavity.
There is an article at the Chandra website regarding this object and what is being illustrated. You may read it here, if you wish:

I would like to thank Jonathan McDowell for showing me that the lowest and highest energy levels must be filtered out using the event file because they are too noisy, and Brian Wolven for tagging him into the Twitter thread that resulted in the discussion. I don't often ask for help because I feel like I am bothering people, but small things like this really make a difference for me.

North is NOT up. It is 19.6° counter-clockwise from up.

Who shares their images with the world? This map of Flickr activity around the globe starts to give us an answer.
When they're not mapping zombies, Mark Graham and the team at the Oxford Internet Institute, are undertaking even more serious research into the state of the internet - this map is part of that work.
Using Flickr's API, they mapped every geotagged picture on Flickr by downloading the count of photographs in every 0.5 x 0.5 degree latitude-longitude square on the Earth's surface.
As might be expected, the largest concentrations of photographs can be found in some of the world's most populated places.
Images are an important form of knowledge that allow us to develop understandings about our world. Flickr is the world’s most used and most popular public repository of photographs and currently hosts over five billion images. This map reveals the global geographic distribution of geotagged images on the platform, and thus reveals the density of visual representations and locally depicted knowledge of all places on our planet.

One of those mapping things, you know the sort they drop around the countryside so you can find where you are on the map - if you've got the right map.
I'd like this one to be much bigger, like some kind of huge monolith, maybe see what photoshop can do.
As per usual the colours look more like I intended if you check out the full size version
I began to look at items that had personal meaning to me. I focused on my running shoes and became preoccupied with the patterns and designs on the bottom of the shoes. For me this reminded me of the patterns and routes on maps and I combined both ideas in this pieces.

Data:
The covers of every issue of Time magazine published from 1923 to summer 2009.
Total number of covers: 4535.
The large percentage of the covers included red borders. We cropped these borders and scaled all images to the same size to allow a user see more clearly the temporal patterns across all covers.
----------------------------
Timescale:
1923-2009.
----------------------------
Mapping:
Time covers appear in order of publication (i.e., from 1923 to 2009), arranged in a grid layout (left to right and top to bottom).
----------------------------
Mapping 4535 Time covers into a grid organized by publicatoon date reveals a number of historical patterns. Here are some of them:
Medium: In the 1920s and 1930s Time covers use mostly photography. After 1941, the magazine switches to paintings. In the later decades the photography gradually comes to dominate again. In the 1990s we see emergence of the contemporary software-based visual language which combines manipulated photography, graphic and typographic elements.
Color vs. black and white: The shift from early black and white to full color covers happens gradually, with both types coexisting for many years.
Hue: Distinct “color periods” appear in bands: green, yellow/brown, red/blue, yellow/brown again, yellow, and a lighter yellow/blue in the 2000s.
Brightness: The changes in brightness (the mean of all pixels’ grayscale values for each cover) follow a similar cyclical pattern.
Contrast and Saturation: Both gradually increase throughout the 20th century. However, since the end of the 1990s, this trend is reversed: recent covers have less contrast and less saturation.
Content: Initially most covers are portraits of individuals set against neutral backgrounds. Over time, portrait backgrounds change to feature compositions representing concepts. Later, these two different strategies come to co-exist: portraits return to neutral backgrounds, while concepts are now represented by compositions which may include both objects and people – but not particular individuals.
The visualization also reveals an important “metapattern”: almost all changes are gradual. Each of the new communication strategies emerges slowly over a number of months, years or even decades.

Many inter-war maps issued by the UK's national mapping agency, the Ordnance Survey, have covers designed by their 'in-house' designer, artist and illustrator Ellis Martin and many of the cover designs have come to be collectable in their own right. They are often seen as nostalgic and redolent of their age. His covers and artwork were introduced at a time when the OS realised that they had to try to shake off their staid image in the face of increased commercial competition in map sales and a need to seriously increase income.
Here we see one of the 'standard' covers for the one inch "Popular" edition sheets although with a change - the box that states it is printed so as to be "Washable - Tough - Durable". This version is interesting as the folded map is printed on what was seen as, and sold as, a technical 'innovation' - Place's Waterproof Paper. This was based on a proposition from an ex-Royal Engineer Colonel C O Place, who had desired such a product during the struggles of the First World War. Various maps were issued on the paper in the early to mid-1930s and were aimed at walkers, hikers and other outdoor map users. It was in many ways a remarkable proposition - the maps note it could be washed with soap and water, and invited users to comment on the durability and communicate with the Director General of the OS. As can be seen the cover also includes the subtle change to map number and code with a red overprint "W.P." before the sheet number top right.
However, the paper made printing complex and there was apparently much wastage, added to which the realtively high price of the products meant the maps did not sell well and the products were discontinued.
This time it is for real: this is Peirce's Quincuncial Mapping that turns a spherical panorama into a square, with the nadir in the center and the zenith in the four corners. This mapping is also tileable (see comment).
The previous images I uploaded were also a square projection, but the zenith and nadir are in the middle of the sides of the square (known as Adams World).
This image is part of a set exploring the different cartographical projections.
