Horizon view
Horizon from Apollonius Y
4.8781° N, 62.6045° E · cell 31NDF
- Highest horizon point
- Apollonius Y: 11.9° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 106°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 324°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 480 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.0° high at azimuth 256°, 54.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:10 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.
