Horizon view
Horizon from Helicon B
37.9495° N, 21.3027° W · cell 20SHM
- Highest horizon point
- Helicon B: 13.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 243°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,951 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.2° high at azimuth 114°, 11.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 23:36:56 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.
