As the first post of a blog about maps, I thought it should
be about mapping out where it will be going.
Of course, it will primarily be about maps (or charts) of
outer space and all their aspects of which there is both scientific and
artistic. The scientific aspect will cover math, data and useful utility. The
artistic will cover the aesthetic nature of space maps.
The blog will also go beyond specifically space maps.
Restricting the blog to just space maps would ignore interesting topics and
news that pertain to space charts. There are exoplanets and solar system news
that are of importance to mapping that I will post about as well as the
technology and spacecraft used to obtain that data. Also, the cartography of
other kinds of maps might affect space maps and that will be another area I can
make posts on. While I don’t plan to go very deep into mathematics, there may
be some topics in it and celestial mechanics I can post on.
Finally, I am also in business to make and sell space maps.
So, I will occasionally make posts about new maps and sales.
I do not know yet how often I will post. My initial goal is once
a month. That is not much compared to other blogs but I think I will need a
little time to get this going and that rate is something I can commit to for at
least a year.
Thank you for reading this first post and I hope you will
come back to read some very interesting ones in the future.
