The particle horizon, also called the cosmological horizon, the comoving horizon, or the cosmic light horizon, is the maximum distance from which light from particles could have traveled to the observer in the age of the universe. It represents the boundary between the observable and the unobservable regions of the universe, so its distance at ...
The particle horizon (also called the cosmological horizon, the comoving horizon (in Scott Dodelson's text), or the cosmic light horizon) is the maximum distance from which light from particles could have traveled to the observer in the age of the universe.
Cauchy horizon, a surface found in the study of Cauchy problems; Cosmological horizon, a limit of observability; Killing horizon, a null surface on which there is a Killing vector field; Particle horizon, the maximum distance from which particles can have travelled to an observer in the age of the universe

Horizon distance graphs: Image title: Graphs of distances to the true horizon on Earth for a given height above sea level, h by CMG Lee. s is along the surface of the Earth, d is the straight line distance, and ~d is the approximate straight line distance assuming h << the radius of the Earth, 6371 km. In the SVG image, hover over a graph to ...
On Friday it was very low on the horizon (about 4 degrees) and likely a bit tough to spot. In the nights that follow, conditions should get better and better. WBZ-TV graphic / Credit: CBS Boston
A sextant. A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument that measures the angular distance between two visible objects. The primary use of a sextant is to measure the angle between an astronomical object and the horizon for the purposes of celestial navigation.
