minus-squareSuccessful_Try543@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 months agoThe equator is one centre axis, one meridian, here 75° E the other. Thus, 0° N 75° E is the centre here instead of 0° N 0° E.

The equator is one centre axis, one meridian, here 75° E the other. Thus, 0° N 75° E is the centre here instead of 0° N 0° E.
