Horizon view
Horizon from Argelander
16.5493° S, 5.8011° E · cell 24KCK
- Highest horizon point
- Argelander: 8.1° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 298°.
- Farthest visible point
- 34.1 km away at azimuth 215°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,859 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 56.3° high at azimuth 66°, 49.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 20:19:46 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.
