Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet Q
79.9296° N, 60.5788° W · cell 15XFG
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet Q: 8.6° above the horizontal, 7.04 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.36 km away at azimuth 74°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 642 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 80°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:27 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.
