Horizon view
Horizon from Pickering B
2.1102° S, 7.3877° E · cell 24MEH
- Highest horizon point
- Pickering B: 16.3° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 120°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 8.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 161 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 59.0° high at azimuth 89°, 46.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:48 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.
