There were requests for textures from my maps in more suitable projection for use in other projects.
I have most of them directly in projections used in maps.
The exception is the Pluto map where I made the base map directly in the cylindrical projection, so here it is

The dust movement in this animation likely also includes parallax as a factor, caused by the spacecraft scanning the surface while in orbit.

Webb maps the mysterious upper atmosphere of Uranus 🔵

This first vertical view of its ionosphere reveals auroras shaped by the planet's tilted magnetic field and how Uranus’s atmosphere has continued to cool over the past three decades.

In this image a shot during landing of Nasa Perseverance from the perspective of the rover. The heat shield was already released and it's visible at the centre of the image. In the background the rim of the Jezero Crater and its delta. Colours assigned are from the dark of the more external atmosphere layers to the rusty red of the red planet surface.

An image of Mars taken by the HiRISE camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It shows the Mars Perseverance rover on its descent to the surface, its parachute spread out above it, with the surface of Mars in the background. An inset image shows an zoomed-in view of the rover Entry-Descent-Landing stage.

Five years ago today! We imaged Perseverance on its descent to Mars, under fairly challenging conditions but we did it because we have a kickass team.
