Horizon view
Horizon from Auwers A
13.7735° N, 18.3064° E · cell 25PHS
- Highest horizon point
- Auwers A: 17.8° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 42°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 125°, 11.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,714 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.3° high at azimuth 124°, 52.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:56 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.
