Horizon view
Horizon from Bessarion
14.8510° N, 37.3075° W · cell 18PJJ
- Highest horizon point
- Bessarion: 22.0° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 311°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 33°, 19.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,980 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 95° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.1°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:46 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.
