Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius G
21.2048° S, 38.3505° E · cell 28KDQ
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius G: 16.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 94°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 113°, 13.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,660 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.0° high at azimuth 353°, 61.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:07:14 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.
