Horizon view
Horizon from Gamow U
66.3934° N, 136.5977° E · cell 40WFA
- Highest horizon point
- Gamow U: 10.0° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 155°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 44°, 7.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,786 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 4.5° under it at azimuth 277°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:03 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.
