What is the source of the attached images?

originally the wmap site...but i have stretched the original (oval shaped) "mollweide"? projection horizontally at top and bottom to produce a psuedo "plate caree" projection.
in other words, the unavoidable distortions of projecting a spherical image onto a flat surface are now pushed to the top and bottom horizons of the image.
so when you look at the image it is now distortion free from the left to the right edges.
i have also converted it to grey scale, tonally adjusted it and then converted to red scale.
