Horizon view
Horizon from Poncelet S
78.7219° N, 56.9614° W · cell 16XER
- Highest horizon point
- Poncelet S: 21.0° above the horizontal, 4.80 km away at azimuth 233°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.80 km away at azimuth 2°, 18.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,535 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.3° under it at azimuth 85°. At 2026-10-22 16:56:53 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 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.
