Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter
79.8123° N, 38.5701° E · cell 28XES
- Highest horizon point
- De Sitter: 9.4° above the horizontal, 0.08 km away at azimuth 314°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.4 km away at azimuth 40°, 2.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,476 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.8° high at azimuth 178°, 4.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:43 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.
