Horizon view
Horizon from Boscovich E
9.0295° N, 12.7213° E · cell 25PBL
- Highest horizon point
- Boscovich E: 2.9° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 174°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 118°, 1.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 180 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.9° high at azimuth 110°, 61.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:40 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.
