Horizon view
Horizon from Poinsot K
77.0551° N, 142.3774° W · cell 5XFU
- Highest horizon point
- Poinsot K: 15.2° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 25°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 2°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,993 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 14.3° under it at azimuth 358°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:39 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.
