Horizon view
Horizon from Abel
34.6257° S, 85.7762° E · cell 34HCU
- Highest horizon point
- Abel L: 2.1° above the horizontal, 72.0 km away at azimuth 250°.
- Farthest visible point
- 80.5 km away at azimuth 176°, 0.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,986 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.7° high at azimuth 299°, 35.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:04 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.
