There’s No “Up” in Space, So Why Is North Up?
http://youtu.be/LYVX4hYuvA8
In the vastness of space where there's no "up" or "down," why do we always see maps with North pointing up? Well, it's like Earth has a favorite direction, and that's North. Back in the day, cartographers decided to stick with tradition and kept North up on maps for consistency. Imagine if every map had a different "up" – total chaos! So, North became the universal compass rose, making it easier for us Earthlings to find our way around. It's a quirky cosmic convention, and hey, it works for us! ???
