Horizon view
Horizon from Millikan Q
43.7365° N, 118.6743° E · cell 38TDU
- Highest horizon point
- Millikan Q: 8.5° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 78°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 102°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,637 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 262° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.6°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:15 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.
