Horizon view
Horizon from Von Neumann
40.2846° N, 153.2494° E · cell 42TGU
- Highest horizon point
- Von Neumann: 8.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 194°.
- Farthest visible point
- 43.6 km away at azimuth 256°, 5.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 88 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 17.7° under it at azimuth 284°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:32 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.
