Horizon view
Horizon from Maupertuis C
50.2961° N, 24.0851° W · cell 20UEF
- Highest horizon point
- Maupertuis C: 11.6° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 299°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 108°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,114 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 15.3° high at azimuth 112°, 10.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:02 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.
