Horizon view
Horizon from Poinsot
78.9020° N, 146.2150° W · cell 5XEA
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.1° above the horizontal, 32.3 km away at azimuth 76°.
- Farthest visible point
- 35.2 km away at azimuth 49°, 5.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,768 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.4° under it at azimuth 353°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:35 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
