3D map of the Red Planet
Zoom in on Mars like never before with this epic 3D map of the Red Planet
This was posted to Mastodon so sharing here today.
Created by the Bruce Murray Laboratory for Planetary Visualization at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, the interactive Global CTX Mosaic of Mars map (opens in new tab) is a mosaic created from images taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter — more specifically, its black-and-white Context Camera.

Open Street Map contributions 2
Back in January, I wrote about some contributions that I was making to Open Street Map. You can read the post here
I have recently made some more updates, mostly around two local schools changing use.
- Devon School of English is now Preston Bridge School
- Tower House School is now St Michael's CE Primary School
I have updated the map and added some notes. Details can be found on my OSM profile
The project would really benefit from some local help, as it is better for one person to create a note and then have a 2nd person resolve this, that way there are some checks / balances to the contributions to ensure accuracy.

Mauritius Oil


Back in October, there was a Major oil spill in Mauritius. Thanks to other news, this has largely been forgotton about.
This is the worst ecological disaster that the country has ever known.
Before the leak was stopped, around 1000 tonnes of oil leaked from the ship and severely contaminated the precious shoreline and lagoons.
A reminder that this happened, an article from, back in October, by Ecowatch is here
Really good article, if there is a follow up to show what the long term consequences of this were I will post it.
For anyone unsure of where Mauritius is, there is a map below from Open Street Map.

MAPSCII


This is an interesting little utility to draw an ASCII map on the terminal. It uses OpenStreetMap for the mapping data.
Open a terminal and enter
telnet mapscii.me
You should then be presented with a world map:

Open Street Map
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open licence.
Open Street Map is a great project that anyone can get involved with, using open data so mapping data can be used freely in accordance with the terms on the website.
Embedded maps are also interactive
View Larger Map
I am in the process of finding local attractions, business etc and adding links to their websites. This hopefully helps with promotion and helps the website develop generally.
