Horizon view
Horizon from Anaximenes G
73.7521° N, 40.5021° W · cell 18XEV
- Highest horizon point
- Anaximenes G: 3.9° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.0 km away at azimuth 100°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,034 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 1.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 99° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 1.6°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:42 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.
