Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius H
18.0109° S, 6.1038° W · cell 22KHU
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius W: 10.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 86°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,039 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.3° high at azimuth 74°, 32.6° 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.
