Horizon view
Horizon from Encke E
0.3470° N, 40.2042° W · cell 18NEL
- Highest horizon point
- Encke E: 17.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 13°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,675 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 91° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.1°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:35 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.
