Horizon view
Horizon from Harpalus C
55.5903° N, 45.2364° W · cell 17UGN
- Highest horizon point
- Harpalus C: 23.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 287°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 32°, 21.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,073 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 97° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.9°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:15 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.
