Horizon view
Horizon from Endymion
53.6067° N, 56.4832° E · cell 30UFQ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.0° above the horizontal, 59.7 km away at azimuth 280°.
- Farthest visible point
- 71.1 km away at azimuth 99°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,900 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 33.6° high at azimuth 199°, 31.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:42 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.
