Horizon view
Horizon from Apollonius
4.5053° N, 60.9648° E · cell 31NBF
- Highest horizon point
- Apollonius: 7.0° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 125°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.1 km away at azimuth 100°, 3.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,208 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 69.2° high at azimuth 254°, 64.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:55 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.
