Abu Rayhan Biruni (976-1048) first described a polar equi-azimuthal equidistant projection of the celestial sphere.
If viewed from the North Pole, the Northern Hemisphere is a polar Azimuthal Equidistant projection. The Southern Hemisphere is divided into five equal triangular lobes that are arranged in a star pattern around the Northern Hemisphere.
