@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyz @PeterLG@theblower.au I like to compare different worlds, so I use an Equidistant Cylindrical projection.
The bummer with Robinson or Molleweide is that it has to get curvy-cut somewhere (on Earth it is usually in the ocean, sorry, oceanographers!)
It is easier to mentally, or formally with a simple image editor (cut/copy/paste), change the centerpoint longitude in EC, but not so with Robinson or Molleweide.
(Yes, it still distorts at mid-latitudes and poles, but not as bad as Mercator.)
