Horizon view
Horizon from Agatharchides S
17.7527° S, 30.5889° W · cell 19KGU
- Highest horizon point
- Agatharchides S: 4.1° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,191 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.4° high at azimuth 85°, 17.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:41 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.
