Summary
| Description |
English: The Peters projection with corrected date line in the Bering strait, 168°45' West of Greenwich, proposed by Arno Peters. On his world map the easternmost part of Russia is not displayed left of Alaska, as it is usually done. Instead, it is on the right with the rest of Russia. The antipode of Peters' corrected date line is the meridian, 11° 15' East of Greenwich, traversing the city center of Florence in Italy.
The drawn out 96 meridians mark quarters of the hour. Green: Longitude of Greenwich and the old date line. Red: Longitude of Florence and Peters date line.Deutsch: Die Peters-Projektion mit korrigierter Datumsgrenze in der Beringstraße, 168°45' westlich von Greenwich. Diese wurde von Arno Peters vorgeschlagen, damit die Ostspitze Russlands auf der Weltkarte nicht wie sonst üblich abgeschnitten und links von Alaska dargestellt wird.
Die Antipode zu Peters' korrigierter Datumsgrenze ist der Meridian 11° 15' östlich von Greenwich, der durch das Stadtzentrum von Florenz in Italien verläuft. Die ausgezogenen 96 Meridiane markieren Viertelstunden. Grün: Länge von Greenwich und alte Datumsgrenze. Rot. Länge von Florenz und korrigierte Datumsgrenze in der Beringstraße. |
