Horizon view
Horizon from Babbage A
59.1432° N, 55.6452° W · cell 16VFM
- Highest horizon point
- Babbage A: 11.9° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 181°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.1 km away at azimuth 248°, 10.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,419 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.5° under it at azimuth 87°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:57 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.
