So, having looked into inversive geometry, stereographic projection, Mobius
transforms, etc. - I think I recall seeing some examples of slightly different
ways of projecting the sphere's surface onto a plane.

Not having delved into this topic to any real extent, are there different image
maps that might not result in a correctly mapped sphere?

Or is the main problem just the cylindrical vs uv-mapping in the scene?

Also just curious if the sphere got scaled to be an oblate spheroid.
