Horizon view
Horizon from Bessarion D
19.7735° N, 41.7347° W · cell 18QDP
- Highest horizon point
- Bessarion D: 20.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 305°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 20.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,108 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 96° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.4°. At 2026-10-22 21:21:53 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.
