Horizon view
Horizon from Lyell
13.6282° N, 40.5564° E · cell 28PFS
- Highest horizon point
- Lyell: 7.0° above the horizontal, 14.2 km away at azimuth 87°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 279°, 1.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,474 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 74.9° high at azimuth 188°, 71.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:22 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.
