Horizon view
Horizon from Lyell D
14.9083° N, 41.4611° E · cell 28PGU
- Highest horizon point
- Lyell D: 5.2° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 179°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 79°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,560 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.5° high at azimuth 191°, 69.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:25 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.
