Horizon view
Horizon from Mairan Y
42.7964° N, 44.1356° W · cell 17TJS
- Highest horizon point
- Mairan Y: 10.2° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 9°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 85°, 6.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,369 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 96° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.7°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:20 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.
