Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter A
80.2381° N, 26.5664° E · cell ZFB
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.7° above the horizontal, 19.3 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.4 km away at azimuth 112°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,210 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.2° high at azimuth 168°, 1.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:40 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.
