Horizon from Aratus D
24.3736° N, 8.6072° E · cell 24RFV
- Highest horizon point
- Aratus D: 5.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 4.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,729 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.3° high at azimuth 126°, 46.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:46 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.
