This map shows the antipode of each point on Earth's surface—the points where the blue and yellow overlap are land antipodes; most land has its antipodes in the ocean. This map uses the Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. The yellow areas are the reflections through Earth's center of land masses of the opposite Western Hemisphere.
The two straight-line distances from any point on the map to the two control points are correct. 2021 Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s Azimuthal Equidistant J. Richard Gott, Dave Goldberg and Robert J. Vanderbei: Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions.
Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection of the world. The center is 0° N 0° E. The antipode is 0° N 180° E, near Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean.That point is represented by the entire circular boundary of the map, and the ocean around that point appears along the entire boundary.
If the azimuthal equidistant projection map is centered about a point whose antipodal point lies on land and the map is extended to the maximum distance of 20,000 km (12,427 mi) the antipode point smears into a large circle. This is shown in the example of two maps centered about Los Angeles, and Taipei.
The antipode of Point Nemo – the point on the surface of the Earth that is diametrically opposite of it – is located at roughly , in the Aktobe region of western Kazakhstan, roughly 50 km (30 miles) SSE of the town of Shubarkuduk
A tearful executive at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service told staffers on Thursday that about 6,000 employees would be fired.
Tematagi is the closest landmass to the antipode of Mecca. This means that the correct direction of Muslim prayer ( qibla ) varies widely between Tematagi and its neighboring islands. The exact antipode of Tematagi, however, is a point roughly 4 kilometers northwest of the Jeddah Eastern Forest , a recreation area east of the Saudi-Arabian ...
The antipodal map preserves orientation (is homotopic to the identity map) [2] when is odd, and reverses it when is even. Its degree is ( − 1 ) n + 1 . {\displaystyle (-1)^{n+1}.} If antipodal points are identified (considered equivalent), the sphere becomes a model of real projective space .
