Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius J
18.0489° S, 5.7035° W · cell 22KHU
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius W: 8.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 80°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 217°, 3.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,924 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.7° high at azimuth 73°, 36.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:41 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.
