Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius
16.0480° S, 4.5104° W · cell 22KKA
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius: 6.6° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 99°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 3°, 2.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,645 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.0° high at azimuth 75°, 39.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:36 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.
