Abstract
There are many examples of unusual places that have been discovered thanks to the development of satellite imagery. This application uses closeread's specific features to explore these places, combining a planisphere to locate them on the globe, and a zoom to explore them interactively with Leaflet.
Full Description
As this application is above all a technical demo of what can be created with Closeread, I wanted the whole application to be created with code, without inserting figures created outside the script. Thus, the planisphere is created with ggplot and sf, while the zooms are created with leaflet.
