Horizon view
Horizon from Millikan R
45.7523° N, 117.8354° E · cell 38TDA
- Highest horizon point
- Millikan R: 16.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 23°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 91°, 7.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,900 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 262°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (5.5° high, the skyline 5.3°). At 2026-10-22 18:42:35 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.
