Horizon view
Horizon from Desargues
70.2482° N, 73.4236° W · cell 14WEL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.6° above the horizontal, 42.6 km away at azimuth 2°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.3 km away at azimuth 39°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,699 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 9.2° under it at azimuth 68°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:39 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.
