Horizon view
Horizon from Archytas
58.8662° N, 4.9925° E · cell 24VDB
- Highest horizon point
- Archytas: 9.7° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 92°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 147°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,142 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.5° high at azimuth 144°, 17.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:35 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.
