Horizon view
Horizon from Promontorium Heraclides
40.5986° N, 34.0972° W · cell 19TDK
- Highest horizon point
- Promontorium Heraclides: 6.1° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 0°.
- Farthest visible point
- 54.0 km away at azimuth 120°, -1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,738 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.9° high at azimuth 101°, 11.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 12:43:15 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.
