Horizon view
Horizon from Brontë
20.1720° N, 30.6746° E · cell 27QDQ
- Highest horizon point
- South Massif: 14.5° above the horizontal, 8.77 km away at azimuth 224°.
- Farthest visible point
- 75.6 km away at azimuth 119°, 0.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,587 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.9° high at azimuth 158°, 63.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:57:24 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 474 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
