I've seen this before but only now I wonder how a map projected on a flat surface would be perfectly turned back into a sphere. There are different kinds of projections and they all have some kind of distortion. There is some maths to do it so I don't see how it gets reversed just with simple optics.

The image should be inverted.

I'm pretty sure the part of the map you can see is upside-down Africa. Clearly a staged shot.
