Horizon view
Horizon from Newcomb Q
30.3024° N, 42.8655° E · cell 28RHS
- Highest horizon point
- Newcomb Q: 6.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 236°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 185°, 4.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 547 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 57.8° high at azimuth 192°, 52.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:53 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.
