Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet A
79.5754° N, 75.5811° W · cell 14XEB
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet A: 11.0° above the horizontal, 14.8 km away at azimuth 39°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.8 km away at azimuth 347°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,824 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.8° under it at azimuth 65°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:49 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.
