Horizon view
Horizon from Danjon J
12.8066° S, 125.5009° E · cell 39LCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Danjon J: 12.7° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 100°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 576 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 2.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 269° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 11.4°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:27 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.
