Horizon view
Horizon from Maestlin
4.8974° N, 40.7165° W · cell 18NER
- Highest horizon point
- Maestlin: 19.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 316°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 76°, 15.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,250 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.4°. At 2026-10-22 14:29:13 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.
