Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius B
22.5856° S, 37.2542° E · cell 28KBN
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius B: 11.7° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 46°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 20°, 8.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,333 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.8° high at azimuth 359°, 60.0° 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.
