Horizon view
Horizon from Newcomb A
29.2188° N, 43.5443° E · cell 28RJR
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb A: 19.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 109°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 235°, 6.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,758 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.7° high at azimuth 194°, 46.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:06:11 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.
