Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan K
40.8296° N, 41.0993° W · cell 18TDV
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan K: 16.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 349°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 152°, 11.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,070 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 99° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:42:51 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.
