Horizon view
Horizon from Mercurius E
49.7609° N, 73.4254° E · cell 32UGF
- Highest horizon point
- Mercurius E: 6.5° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 53°.
- Farthest visible point
- 51.2 km away at azimuth 254°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,933 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 30.9° high at azimuth 222°, 26.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:26 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.
