Horizon view
Horizon from Aratus B
24.1795° N, 5.4312° E · cell 24RCV
- Highest horizon point
- Aratus B: 13.9° above the horizontal, 2.61 km away at azimuth 238°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 290°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,312 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 49.1° high at azimuth 124°, 38.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:16:38 UTC, when this page was served.
