What this print shows.
The view
Dusk over Europe, the limb from 3,500 km, drawn by our 3D engine as it was on 14 October 2026 and lit by the Sun from where it shone that day. Every view is turned on the world's real axis and lit by the Sun from where it really was that day, and we test that geometry against JPL's Horizons system.1,2
