Planet Panoramas is all about artistic distortion using a sphere. This artwork utilizes a method called Stereographic Projection to map beautiful panoramas on a sphere. What happens is quite intriguing. The area close to the point opposite to the center of projection becomes significantly enlarged and proportionally distorted, resulting in an effect known as little planet. If you don?t understand, don?t worry about it, look at these pictures of famous landmarks around the world and you should get the idea. Very cool and beautiful!
