Horizon view
Horizon from Abel J
36.2027° S, 79.8714° E · cell 33HEG
- Highest horizon point
- Abel J: 8.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 183°, 4.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,495 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 36.2° high at azimuth 300°, 31.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:20 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.
