Horizon from Gruithuisen P
37.1706° N, 40.5687° W · cell 18SER
- Highest horizon point
- Gruithuisen P: 7.6° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 327°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 144°, 2.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,110 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 8.4° high at azimuth 98°, 2.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:48 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.
