Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus B
69.7108° N, 24.4726° W · cell 20WEK
- Highest horizon point
- Philolaus G: 4.8° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 234°.
- Farthest visible point
- 47.4 km away at azimuth 333°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,521 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.5° high at azimuth 115°, 4.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:32 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.
