Horizon view
Horizon from Timaeus
62.9100° N, 0.5500° W · cell 23VEB
- Highest horizon point
- Timaeus: 7.7° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 52°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 105°, 7.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,194 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.6° high at azimuth 135°, 13.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:58:59 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.
