Horizon view
Horizon from Sylvester
82.6492° N, 81.2181° W · cell YRL
- Highest horizon point
- Sylvester: 11.2° above the horizontal, 0.16 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.3 km away at azimuth 326°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,706 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 5.3° under it at azimuth 58°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:50 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 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.
