Horizon view
Horizon from Anaxagoras
73.4810° N, 10.1712° W · cell 22XEK
- Highest horizon point
- Anaxagoras: 16.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 323°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,540 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.2° high at azimuth 129°, 3.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:25 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.
