Both lived in the Golden Age.

Answer 2

In 1569, Gerardus Mercator created a new way of showing the spherical world on the flat surface of a map. Known as the "Mercator Projection", it looks like a cylinder, cut vertically and laid out flat.
If you look at pictures of it, you'll see that modern atlases still resemble it very closely.

Answer 3

while Mercator's map was the first widely distributed map that showed that North and South America existed, the Big Blank wasn't really filled in till James Cook's three voyages of exploration added Australia, New Zeeland, and most importantly Antarctica to the map...go Google James Cook and be amazed at what he accomplished......NASA named one of the shuttles for one of his ships, and Gene Roddenberry named one of his starship captains something that sounds awfully close in honor of him....

Answer 4

atlas.......
