Horizon view
Horizon from Leucippus
29.2410° N, 116.4138° W · cell 8RJA
- Highest horizon point
- Leucippus: 6.9° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 227°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 185°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 745 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 54.8° under it at azimuth 42°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:11 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.
