Horizon view
Horizon from Kirkwood
68.3398° N, 156.6629° W · cell 3WGN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.6° above the horizontal, 34.1 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 149°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,443 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 22.1° under it at azimuth 342°. At 2026-10-22 13:31:19 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.
