Horizon from Boscovich A
9.4635° N, 12.6265° E · cell 25PAM
- Highest horizon point
- Boscovich A: 14.3° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 3°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 194°, 11.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 936 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.4° high at azimuth 112°, 49.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:51 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.
