Horizon view
Horizon from Mouchez L
78.7116° N, 40.7844° W · cell 18XEF
- Highest horizon point
- Mouchez L: 18.4° above the horizontal, 8.60 km away at azimuth 345°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.80 km away at azimuth 60°, 16.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,560 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 101° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 13.4°. At 2026-10-22 16:17:03 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
