Horizon view
Horizon from Newcomb H
28.9453° N, 42.5030° E · cell 28RHR
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb H: 17.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 151°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 68°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 620 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.3° high at azimuth 190°, 42.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:11 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.
