Horizon view
Horizon from Archytas B
61.4377° N, 3.1722° E · cell 23VGV
- Highest horizon point
- Archytas B: 2.2° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 321°, 1.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,488 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.3° high at azimuth 140°, 21.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:46 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.
