Horizon view
Horizon from Flamsteed A
7.8797° S, 42.9993° W · cell 18MBA
- Highest horizon point
- Flamsteed A: 19.8° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 201°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 25°, 17.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,659 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.7° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 90° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 17.9°. At 2026-10-22 16:15:47 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.
