Bad topo plot

 I made this plot at work today.  It’s completely wrong – like absolute garbage kind of wrong – but I think it looks really cool.  It may become part of my next mosaic project…

Wrong surface topography

It’s supposed to be a plot of the initial surface topography of the model planet before it gets squished or cooled or whatever, but clearly something went wrong somewhere…

About meg

I think planets are cool! I'm a new graduate student in Planetary Science at Caltech, and at the moment I'm interested in planetary geophysics of terrestrial planets and moons. I'm originally from Cortlandt Manor, NY, and I did my undergrad at MIT, where I got heavily involved in student theater - a hobby I hope to continue through grad school, time permitting... I also like to read sci-fi/fantasy novels, obsess about English history, and play frisbee.
