Horizon view
Horizon from Epigenes A
67.0446° N, 0.3900° W · cell 23WEG
- Highest horizon point
- Epigenes A: 22.7° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 242°, 15.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,896 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 16.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 141° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 20.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:45 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.
