Week 9 Make a Map
This interactive map displays a rotating orthographic view of Earth, tilted at 23.5 degrees to simulate the planet’s axial tilt. The globe continuously spins, and a day/night effect is implied through the graticule and shaded country polygons. The visualization uses the `d3.geoOrthographic` projection for the sphere, `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoGraticule` for rendering outlines, and `d3.timer` for the rotation animation. Geographic data comes from the `visionscarto-world-atlas` TopoJSON file, processed with `topojson-client`. D3.js and topojson-client are the core libraries.
