Horizon view
Horizon from Heymans
74.7553° N, 144.9393° W · cell 5XER
- Highest horizon point
- Heymans: 7.5° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 56°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 147°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,501 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 16.6° under it at azimuth 357°. At 2026-10-22 17:58:01 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.
