Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius M
16.4517° S, 3.2673° W · cell 23KBF
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius M: 8.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 185°, 2.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 713 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 74°, 42.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:50 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.
