Hi, how is this projection created? It reminds me of an old technique used to de-project the foreshortened craters on the Moon: one takes a photograph of the Moon and then that picture is projected onto a physical sphere; then a picture of the sphere is taken from "the side." The resulting picture shows the craters near to the edge of the moon as de-projected on the sphere. I suppose something similar can be done for Jupiter - using a computer, or perhaps a real sphere...
