Travel Through Space and Time with 400 Years of Planetary Maps
Event Description:
Maps are a key tool for making sense of places we live or hope to one day explore, so it's no wonder that for hundreds of years, humans have been creating maps of other worlds in our solar system.
And more than 2,200 such maps, created over the course of four centuries, are now gathered on one website, unveiled at last week's European Planetary Science Congress held in Berlin. The website, called the Digital Museum of Planetary Mapping, allows you to browse images by the decade of their creation, the world they depict or the type of data the map displays
