Horizon view
Horizon from Fontenelle X
60.5685° N, 27.8119° W · cell 20VCU
- Highest horizon point
- Fontenelle X: 19.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 90°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 111°, 17.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,537 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 114° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.8°. At 2026-10-22 21:00:54 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.
