Horizon view
Horizon from Democritus L
63.4166° N, 39.6478° E · cell 28VES
- Highest horizon point
- Democritus L: 5.7° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 305°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 223°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,601 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.2° high at azimuth 183°, 21.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:20 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.
