Horizon view
Horizon from Maupertuis
49.6968° N, 27.2829° W · cell 20UCF
- Highest horizon point
- Maupertuis: 7.1° above the horizontal, 19.9 km away at azimuth 47°.
- Farthest visible point
- 42.6 km away at azimuth 214°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,579 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 13.8° high at azimuth 109°, 11.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:20 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.
