Horizon view
Horizon from Blanchinus
25.3156° S, 2.4439° E · cell 23JHQ
- Highest horizon point
- Blanchinus: 3.5° above the horizontal, 29.4 km away at azimuth 300°.
- Farthest visible point
- 81.5 km away at azimuth 194°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,389 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.8° high at azimuth 63°, 43.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:34 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.
