Summary

Description
English: A comparison of the Fra Mauro World Map from AD 1450 and a satellite image of Earth. The satellite image was created using data from the MODIS instrument onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites. This version of the image has been obtained from the NASA original by individually rotating both halves by 180°, to achieve the more familiar North-on-top orientation.
