Horizon view
Horizon from Schwarzschild A
78.4660° N, 124.2420° E · cell 39XEF
- Highest horizon point
- Schwarzschild A: 15.9° above the horizontal, 4.80 km away at azimuth 328°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.0 km away at azimuth 252°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,608 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 0.4° under it at azimuth 265°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:40 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 400 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
