There was a problem hiding this comment.
This will not be merged as-is. Everyone knows the Earth is two pixels tall -- the top hemi-rectangle, and the bottom hemi-rectangle (for those "spherical earth" believers, those are known as "hemispheres".)
Incredibly disheartening to see such misinformation attempt to be merged into the project.

1 April is over(with some margin) so time to close this one :^) |

After an earlier vote in serenityos.social a majority voted that we should replace our current propaganda depictions of earth with a more scientifically accurate depiction of earth, flat and beautiful. This also decrease the file size with ~50%!

Important scientific notice:
As is well known: nobody has passed the edge of earth(and returned) so any depiction of the earth from her sides is pure speculation. These are artistic depictions of the dominating continent close to the earth edge from different angles. It's also a well known fact that nobody has dug deep enough to see how thick earth it is, this is also drawn with some artistic freedom.
