Horizon view
Horizon from Poynting X
23.1476° N, 136.4874° W · cell 6QEU
- Highest horizon point
- Poynting X: 18.4° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 166°, 15.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 347 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 66.7° under it at azimuth 22°. At 2026-10-22 22:46:17 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.
