Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter L
78.8592° N, 34.5157° E · cell 27XFF
- Highest horizon point
- De Sitter L: 4.2° above the horizontal, 4.80 km away at azimuth 357°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.1 km away at azimuth 200°, 0.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 722 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.7° high at azimuth 173°, 9.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:27 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.
