Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius U
17.7104° S, 5.1072° W · cell 22KJU
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius U: 4.0° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 233°.
- Farthest visible point
- 60.6 km away at azimuth 40°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,568 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.6° high at azimuth 73°, 43.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:09 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.
