Re:China on Mars: Zhurong rover returns first pictures by DiogenesKynikos on Wednesday May 19, 2021 @10:32AM (#27209179)
It's a completely standard Cartesian projection (x = longitude, y = latitude), but with nonsense graticules plotted on top. I think BBC took a NASA image of Mars and added their own graticules and landing-site labels. Compare the BBC image with these two NASA images:

* BBC: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/825B/production/...

* NASA base map of Mars: https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/uploads/filer_public_thumbnail...

* NASA landing sites: https://mars.nasa.gov/resources/24729/map-of-nasas-mars-land...
