Horizon view
Horizon from Becquerel
40.7945° N, 129.5013° E · cell 39TGV
- Highest horizon point
- Becquerel: 6.2° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 325°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 209°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,000 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 268° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.0°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:10 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.
