Horizon view
Horizon from Catena Sylvester
79.9898° N, 83.1178° W · cell 13XES
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 15.9° above the horizontal, 3.04 km away at azimuth 83°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.36 km away at azimuth 348°, 3.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 264 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 6.8° under it at azimuth 58°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:25 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.
