Horizon view
Horizon from Byrd
85.4283° N, 10.0699° E · cell ZAG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.7° above the horizontal, 46.4 km away at azimuth 356°.
- Farthest visible point
- 76.6 km away at azimuth 154°, 0.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,330 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 2.6° high at azimuth 149°, 2.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:34 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 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.
