Awesome work by #NASA portraying #Ocean currents.
Imagine this with #Mercator 
. What you see in this video is called the #PerspectiveMapProjection.

@infobeautiful Not only is this map utterly incorrect, so are all those simplistic solutions like "TrueSize".
If you wish to compare areas you need an equal-area #MapProjection
Very disappointed to see Prof. Michael Clarke involved in this. A video published by #SkyNews days ago portrays distances on the #Mercator projection, misinforming the public on the real range of #Russia 's #WMDs.
This is a very obvious misuse of #cartography, that cannot possibly be a mistake.
