Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter G
78.7779° N, 42.0041° E · cell 28XFR
- Highest horizon point
- De Sitter G: 22.9° above the horizontal, 4.20 km away at azimuth 319°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.40 km away at azimuth 81°, 10.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,022 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 182° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.1°. At 2026-10-22 13:44:54 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 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.
