Horizon view
Horizon from Briggs C
25.0182° N, 66.9478° W · cell 15RBA
- Highest horizon point
- Briggs C: 14.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 260°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 152°, 9.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,670 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.9° under it at azimuth 85°. At 2026-10-22 19:42:57 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.
