Horizon view
Horizon from Gruithuisen E
37.3911° N, 44.3868° W · cell 17SJL
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen E: 19.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 45°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 322°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,988 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 95° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 16.2°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:44 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.
