Russia is big, but it's not that big. The map shown is a Mercator projection, which hugely exaggerates the sizes of things near the poles relative to those near the equator. It was originally designed for navigation, but it's about the worst projection there is for giving an accurate sense of the shapes or relative sizes of territories. This is what Russia actually looks like. Yes, Bangladesh is far smaller, but it's a more accurate comparison.
ReplyDeleteThat hexagonal cloud formation at Saturn's north pole is intriguing. It was discovered in 1987, so it has existed for several decades at least. The reason for it is still not known for certain, though there are various hypotheses. The width of the hexagon is about twice the diameter of the Earth.
I would hate to live in Bangladesh in such close, crowded conditions. But I would also hate to live in Russia...been there, hated it!
ReplyDeleteInfidel - Thank you for that link. And, thanks for the info on the hexagonal formation.
