Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus D
74.3666° N, 27.6597° W · cell 20XDR
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 3.0° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 87.2 km away at azimuth 72°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,203 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.3° high at azimuth 111°, 4.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:06:32 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.
