Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan L
39.0743° N, 43.2239° W · cell 18SBT
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan L: 13.6° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 157°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 12.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,629 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 96° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.8°. At 2026-10-22 15:39:31 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.
