Martin Behaim's Erdapfel, 1492. (Facsimile of Behaim's Globe). https://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s/s7q969 Martin Behaim's Erdapfel (earth apple) is the oldest surviving terrestrial globe. It exists in only one manuscript copy painted by Georg Glockendon, held Nuremberg, Germany. It shows the world according to Ptolemy and other sources, before the discovery of America by Columbus in the same year as the globe was made, 1492. Behaim's globe vividly shows the earth without America and illustrates why Columbus thought he could sail directly west from Europe and land in China and the East Indies. This facsimile of Behaim's globe gores and callots was made by E.G. Ravenstein in 1908 and is generally considered the best available facsimile. It is based on both the original globe and an earlier facsimile made in 1847 by E.F.Jomard, as well as other sources for the notes and place names. While it is by no means a completely faithful copy of the original, it does express the overall intent of Behaim's globe. We have georeferenced the 12 globe gores and 2 polar callots, allowing the reprojection of the 14 separate sections into continuous world maps on several different projections.

Moon LRO LROC WAC Global Morphology Mosaic 100m v3 Arizona State University LROC Team. Published in 2013 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide Angle Camera (WAC) aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has allowed the instrument team to create a global mosaic comprised of over 15,000 images acquired between November 2009 and February 2011. The WAC maps the whole Moon in one month.
Venus Magellan Global C3-MDIR Synthetic Color Mosaic 4641m v1 Published by the USGS Astrogeology Science Center in 2014. https://www.davidrumsey.com/globes/venus-colorized This synthetic colorized version of the C3-MIDR mosaic was developed to simulate the surface of Venus. This mosaic was created from the Magellan Full resolution Basic Image Data Records (F-BIDRs), the highest resolution radar images of the Venus surface (~75 meters per pixel [m]). To make this product, the F-BIDR is assembled into Full-Resolution Mosaicked Image Data Records (F-MIDRs) which are then averaged in successive operations resulting in each pixel being the average of nine pixels resulting in compressed BIDR or C-BIDR. The resulting C-BIDR are then mosaicked into 8192 x 8192 arrays called C1-MIDR (Compressed Once - Mosaicked Image Data Record) which are then further compressed into C2- and C3-MIDR.
