    Mmm, isn’t that a feature? That our world has many points of view, all equally valid. There is nothing to fix in the original photo because when you look at a planet there is no up or down, just the unfathomable canvas of void embracing it.

    I would even argue that the original orientation is good for the soul of those that cannot see the world with “some countries on the top”. Especially during these times.

      Maybe, but for people familiar with contours of a map in an N-S orientation, it’s easier to know what you’re seeing by turning it a bit.
