Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas A
20.4658° N, 21.7374° W · cell 20QHK
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas A: 15.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 343°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 168°, 11.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,352 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.9° high at azimuth 104°, 17.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:52:20 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.
