Horizon view
Horizon from Cusanus B
70.0878° N, 65.0365° E · cell 31WFE
- Highest horizon point
- Cusanus B: 13.1° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 100°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 195°, 7.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,374 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 16.5° high at azimuth 207°, 8.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:11 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.
