Horizon view
Horizon from Alpetragius W
17.9515° S, 5.9616° W · cell 22KHU
- Highest horizon point
- Alpetragius V: 2.8° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 84.3 km away at azimuth 49°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,637 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.4° high at azimuth 74°, 41.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:07 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.
