Which visual distortion arises when projecting celestial spheres onto astrolabe faces?

💡 Explanation

Increased angular feature compression occurs because the stereographic projection flattens a sphere, causing Angular distortion, therefore angular features become compressed, rather than magnified, near the projection's edge, if another type of projection was used such equal-area.
