Horizon view
Horizon from Galvani
49.5121° N, 84.5618° W · cell 12UHL
- Highest horizon point
- Galvani: 3.5° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 40°.
- Farthest visible point
- 40.8 km away at azimuth 79°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,742 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 23.3° under it at azimuth 62°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:06 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.
