Horizon view
Horizon from Arago
6.1487° N, 21.4261° E · cell 26NBN
- Highest horizon point
- Arago: 9.6° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 62°, 6.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,273 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 71.4° high at azimuth 113°, 64.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:52 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.
