Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius G
18.1726° S, 6.5617° W · cell 22KGT
- Highest horizon point
- Promontorium Taenarium: 6.5° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 128°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 188°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,790 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 42.8° high at azimuth 74°, 39.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:11 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.
