Horizon view
Horizon from Democritus B
60.0768° N, 28.6271° E · cell 27VCC
- Highest horizon point
- Democritus B: 23.3° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 156°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 39°, 21.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,057 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.1° high at azimuth 169°, 5.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:53 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
