Horizon view
Horizon from Apollonius L
6.4710° N, 54.5668° E · cell 30NDT
- Highest horizon point
- Apollonius L: 19.0° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 4°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,302 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.2° high at azimuth 243°, 55.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:57 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.
