Horizon view
Horizon from Alfraganus
5.4217° S, 18.9706° E · cell 25MJP
- Highest horizon point
- Alfraganus: 18.9° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 198°.
- Farthest visible point
- 10.4 km away at azimuth 60°, 16.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,079 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 72.7° high at azimuth 77°, 55.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:25:54 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.
