Horizon view
Horizon from Piazzi Smyth B
40.5280° N, 3.3682° W · cell 23TBQ
- Highest horizon point
- Piazzi Smyth B: 10.4° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 176°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 266°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,904 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.1° high at azimuth 130°, 25.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:46:13 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.
