Horizon view
Horizon from Pytheas B
17.5007° N, 19.3919° W · cell 21QBM
- Highest horizon point
- Pytheas B: 4.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 260°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,823 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.3° high at azimuth 103°, 28.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:19 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.
