Horizon view
Horizon from Protagoras E
49.5256° N, 0.5436° E · cell 23UFF
- Highest horizon point
- Protagoras E: 17.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 288°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 34°, 14.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,888 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 29.2° high at azimuth 134°, 14.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:08 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.
