Horizon from Mairan T
41.7906° N, 48.3941° W · cell 17TER
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan T: 5.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 101 km away at azimuth 35°, -0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,123 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 0.8° high at azimuth 93°, 1.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:34 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.
