Horizon view
Horizon from Goddard C
16.8122° N, 85.2053° E · cell 34QBA
- Highest horizon point
- Goddard C: 3.4° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 175°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.1 km away at azimuth 355°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,512 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.9° high at azimuth 253°, 39.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:19 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.
