Horizon view
Horizon from Birkhoff Q
56.1884° N, 151.0667° W · cell 4VFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Birkhoff Q: 14.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 299°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 144°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,475 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.5° under it at azimuth 347°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:01 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.
