Horizon view
Horizon from J. Herschel C
62.3876° N, 40.1504° W · cell 18VEF
- Highest horizon point
- J. Herschel: 21.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 228°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 17°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,999 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.2°. At 2026-10-22 13:49:10 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.
