Danny Quah's Valerispieris circle on a globe model, centred on Mong Khet, Myanmar, rendered in azimuthal equal-area projection from the equirectangular projection

Summary edit

Description
English: Danny Quah's Valerispieris circle on a globe model, centred on Mong Khet, Myanmar, rendered in azimuthal equal-area projection from the equirectangular projection from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Earthmap1000x500.jpg by CMG Lee. The fraction of the area of circle to that of the globe is equal to its equivalent on Earth.
