Horizon view
Horizon from Philolaus G
69.1769° N, 23.8182° W · cell 20WFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Philolaus G: 3.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 266°.
- Farthest visible point
- 59.7 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,475 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 7.7° high at azimuth 115°, 5.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:10 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.
