Map exaggeration
Perhaps most exaggerated of all though has to be the images that are typically given to show the accumulation of “space junk” โ remnants of space flights and defunct satellites, etc. In this image each pixel represents approximately 114 miles; so a piece of debris the size of a car is marked with a point the size of Long Island โ easily a 6 order of magnitude exaggeration.
