Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius N
16.7354° S, 3.8764° W · cell 23KAE
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius N: 10.5° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 326°.
- Farthest visible point
- 27.5 km away at azimuth 157°, 2.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 877 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.4° high at azimuth 74°, 42.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:39:28 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.
