Horizon view
Horizon from Newcomb J
28.7189° N, 44.2217° E · cell 29RAV
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb J: 12.4° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 336°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 180°, 7.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,691 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.0° high at azimuth 195°, 51.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:20 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.
