Picture of the day
The
Miller cylindrical projection
is a modified
Mercator projection
proposed by
Osborn Maitland Miller
(1897–1979) in 1942. The latitude is scaled by a factor of
4
⁄
5
, projected according to Mercator, and then the result is multiplied by
5
⁄
4
to retain scale along the equator.
