Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius A
24.4322° S, 36.4402° E · cell 28JBL
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius A: 11.7° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 41°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 150°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,298 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.9° high at azimuth 1°, 55.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:06 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.
