Much better than the mercator. but it’s obvious that the country shapes are totally distorted.

既然墨卡托适用于导航并清晰阅读，为什么还要为所有这些古怪的地图烦恼呢？

The color images include the Robinson projection, Mercator projection, azimuth projection, and orthographic projection of the Eastern and Western hemispheres of the Red Planet, with a spatial resolution of 76 meters.

本次发布的影像图为彩色，包括按照制图标准分别制作的火星东西半球正射投影图、鲁宾逊投影图和墨卡托投影加方位投影图，空间分辨率为 76 米。

Arno Peters argued that by enlarging European and North American countries, the Mercator projection gives white nations a sense of supremacy over non-white nations closer to the equator.

Arno Peters 认为，通过扩大欧洲和北美国家，墨卡托投影让白人国家对靠近赤道的非白人国家产生了至高无上的感觉。

It is partly the result of the field's traditional focus on modelling science, rather than policy, explains Jan Minx, who leads the Applied Sustainability Science working group at the Mercator Research Institute in Berlin.

柏林墨卡托研究所应用可持续性科学工作组负责人简·明克斯 (Jan Minx) 解释说， 这在一定程度上是由于该领域传统上注重建模科学，而不是政策。
