Horizon view
Horizon from Alhazen
15.9148° N, 71.8279° E · cell 32PEE
- Highest horizon point
- Alhazen: 11.9° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 23°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 345°, 9.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,099 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.1° high at azimuth 248°, 42.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:41 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
