Horizon view
Horizon from Encke T
3.2309° N, 37.8776° W · cell 18NHP
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 0.8° above the horizontal, 52.1 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 53.1 km away at azimuth 257°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,475 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 11.0° high at azimuth 92°, 11.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:30 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.
