Horizon view
Horizon from Einstein A
16.6923° N, 88.2496° W · cell 12QEL
- Highest horizon point
- Einstein A: 11.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 64°, 6.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,069 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 37.8° under it at azimuth 78°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:24 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.
