The azimuthal equal-area projects the sphere onto a disk and preserves area across the projection. You can display the whole planet, but latitudes far from the center get very distorted. The clipped two-hemisphere approach avoids the distortion and fits nicely on a phone.

I first saw this last year in a map by @bananafish.bsky.social. Not sure if he invented it or saw it somewhere else.

A cylindrical or pseudocylindrical (in this case Patterson's Natural Earth) projection will start looking real scrunchy at around 600 pixels, but the stacked Lamberts work great down to 300 pixels — as narrow as you'll ever need.

🦋 The study didn't investigate causes, but habitat disruption and pesticides likely contributed to declines. Climate change may have played a role: species saw larger drops in the south of their ranges, suggesting northward migration w/ temp. increase.

🦋 This is the first study to combine butterfly observations from thousands of surveys across the country to create a complete picture of U.S. butterfly trends.
Of 342 species, 245 suffered declines of at least 10 percent.

State Dept. Suspends Plan to Buy Armored Vehicles From Elon Musk’s Tesla
Vehicles made by Elon Musk’s company were on a purchase list issued before Donald Trump was inaugurated and before Mr. Musk became one of the president’s top advisers.
