Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet
75.9094° N, 54.5718° W · cell 16XFM
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 2.2° above the horizontal, 36.0 km away at azimuth 319°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 304°, 0.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,116 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.7° under it at azimuth 85°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:43 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.
