Horizon view
Horizon from Maupertuis A
50.6598° N, 24.7505° W · cell 20UEG
- Highest horizon point
- Maupertuis A: 25.6° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 28°, 20.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,661 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 111° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 21.7°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:09 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.
