Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet B
78.3480° N, 63.5581° W · cell 15XFE
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet B: 11.2° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 91°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 820 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 4.0° under it at azimuth 77°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:48 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.
