Use of the planetary maps

The planetary maps on these pages are publicly available. You do not need a special permission to use them but if you do then please mention their origin in your work, e.g. "created by Björn Jónsson" or something equivalent. Also I would like to see renderings/animations created using them if possible, I'm interested in space art.


Use of the space art and renders
The space art renders on these pages are all copyrighted by me and may not be used without permission.

Maps and models used in the planetary renders
The space art renders were generated using either maps/data created by me or using freely available data in most cases.
For the Earth renders I used the Blue Marble maps from NASA/Visible Earth.


Source data for the planetary maps created by me
The planetary maps were created using spacecraft imaging data available at NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS). In most cases I used data from the Cartography and Imaging Sciences (IMG) node or data from the Ring-Moon Systems (RMS) node.
