Horizon view
Horizon from Piazzi Smyth W
42.2508° N, 1.8646° W · cell 23TDS
- Highest horizon point
- Piazzi Smyth W: 3.5° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 81°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 151°, 1.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,812 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.9° high at azimuth 132°, 33.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:06:42 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.
