This video covers various topics important to mapping and satellite imagery (and a lesson from an APHG teacher on how to use this video with other resources). There is so much more to the world and space than what we can see see. Chromoscope, referenced in the video, simulates other forms of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum besides just visible light. This type of information is at the core of the science behind all of our satellite imagery. This video also covers many map projection issues and highlights online resources to understand map distortion including:
- Google’s Mercator Map Puzzle
- Jason Davies’ interactive map projection website
- Interactive Gnomonic Projection
- and the military’s live rendering of what the Earth looks like right now.
