Horizon view
Horizon from Plato Y
53.1805° N, 16.3121° W · cell 21UEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Plato Y: 17.5° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 282°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 16.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,605 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.6° high at azimuth 121°, 3.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:24:19 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.
