Horizon view
Horizon from De Sitter V
79.0631° N, 56.4679° E · cell 30XFF
- Highest horizon point
- De Sitter V: 14.9° above the horizontal, 9.08 km away at azimuth 212°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.6 km away at azimuth 5°, 8.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,326 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 199° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.8°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:45 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.
