Horizon view
Horizon from Eratosthenes D
17.4352° N, 10.9037° W · cell 22QBB
- Highest horizon point
- Eratosthenes D: 8.4° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 264°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,051 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.2° high at azimuth 106°, 30.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:56 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.
