Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius D
21.8207° S, 30.8698° E · cell 27KDD
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius D: 11.0° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 192°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 135°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,614 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.2° high at azimuth 22°, 60.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:46 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.
