Horizon view
Horizon from Whipple
89.1373° N, 120.0192° E · cell ZAN
- Highest horizon point
- Whipple: 24.5° above the horizontal, 6.08 km away at azimuth 229°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.52 km away at azimuth 29°, 23.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,782 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.2° under it at azimuth 262°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:57 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
