Horizon view
Horizon from Apianus N
28.8908° S, 9.9055° E · cell 24JHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Apianus N: 9.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 290°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 101°, 6.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 324 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.3° high at azimuth 48°, 43.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:14 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.
