Horizon view
Horizon from Bessarion B
16.8335° N, 41.7192° W · cell 18QDL
- Highest horizon point
- Bessarion B: 18.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,968 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 95° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.8°. At 2026-10-22 22:06:21 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.
