Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet P
80.6814° N, 61.7490° W · cell YQG
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet P: 6.1° above the horizontal, 7.84 km away at azimuth 242°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.68 km away at azimuth 64°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 682 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.1° under it at azimuth 79°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:36 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.
