Horizon view
Horizon from Eratosthenes A
18.3408° N, 8.3280° W · cell 22QEC
- Highest horizon point
- Eratosthenes A: 16.8° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 13°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 55°, 14.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,584 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.1° high at azimuth 109°, 26.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:52 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.
