Horizon view
Horizon from Acosta
5.6453° S, 60.1395° E · cell 31MAP
- Highest horizon point
- Acosta: 21.8° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 112°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 107°, 21.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,101 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.9° high at azimuth 280°, 48.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:31 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.
