Horizon view
Horizon from Yerkes V
15.2400° N, 50.4900° E · cell 29PHD
- Highest horizon point
- Yerkes E: 5.9° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 25°.
- Farthest visible point
- 56.9 km away at azimuth 333°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,693 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 69.3° high at azimuth 218°, 64.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:19 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.
