Horizon view
Horizon from Alfraganus A
3.0460° S, 20.3240° E · cell 26MAB
- Highest horizon point
- Alfraganus A: 12.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 71°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 156°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 174 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.1° high at azimuth 85°, 60.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:52 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.
