Horizon view
Horizon from Houssay
83.1148° N, 98.5226° E · cell ZJP
- Highest horizon point
- Houssay: 13.3° above the horizontal, 13.1 km away at azimuth 50°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.8 km away at azimuth 305°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,004 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 239° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 10.0°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:08 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
