Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius C
24.6360° S, 34.5272° E · cell 27JHA
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius C: 14.2° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 68°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 9.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,463 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.5° high at azimuth 9°, 57.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:09:07 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.
