Horizon from Newcomb C
29.1870° N, 45.3074° E · cell 29RCA
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb C: 7.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 319°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 31°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,581 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 58.4° high at azimuth 197°, 54.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:42:55 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.
