Horizon from Newcomb
29.7623° N, 43.6666° E · cell 28RJS
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb: 9.4° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 208°, 3.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,732 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.3° high at azimuth 192°, 54.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:23:55 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.
