Horizon view
Horizon from Diophantus B
29.0835° N, 32.5392° W · cell 19RER
- Highest horizon point
- Diophantus B: 17.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 230°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 34°, 17.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,660 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 14.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 100° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.5°. At 2026-10-22 13:48:56 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.
