Horizon view
Horizon from Apianus D
26.0794° S, 10.6643° E · cell 24JHU
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 5.2° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 162°.
- Farthest visible point
- 38.9 km away at azimuth 185°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 109 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 54.9° high at azimuth 49°, 53.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:03:15 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.
