Horizon view
Horizon from Merrill X
76.6993° N, 120.6707° W · cell 8XET
- Highest horizon point
- Merrill X: 8.9° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 225°.
- Farthest visible point
- 72.0 km away at azimuth 133°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,903 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 13.7° under it at azimuth 22°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:18 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.
