Behold! The ENTIRE heatmap for this planet.

No, it's definitely NOT a height map.

It's a 'blue map'. Obviously.

Did anyone check for exobiology there :

That leads to a restraining order. Why do you think I headed into the black?

I dunno, my scanner keep indicating something's there.
If my exobiology knowledge is accurate, fungoid should be on the top, while conchas....

Nevermind. Let's drop it. I'm going into the black to very soon I guess.

Two cent's worth coming up : many of us scientists loosely use "heat map" to describe any maplike representation of the distribution of a (phenomenon, item, event... etc). It's vernacular, not real accurate talk. Not worth overanalysing its meaning.

'tis a binary heat map that registers two temps, "hot" = blue (of course) and "not hot" = transparent.

How strange indeed that there is no word in the English language of "not hot", especially considering its always "not hot" in England. Ever more odd, there is no word for "not raining" because it is never "not raining".

It's an efficiency thing ... Why have two different words and adjectives to describe them when you can use the same adjectives to describe 1 and negate it using an additional shared word.

Like double un-good to describe something that the wasteful plebes call "Very bad". We can reduce the number of words needed by people to learn and describe everything we need with this new way of speaking. A double-speak, if you will.

Not hot = cool. Not cold = warm. Not a problem

Its an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Come now, let the pedants feel like they are smart.
