Horizon from Fracastorius J
20.8464° S, 37.3758° E · cell 28KCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius J: 14.1° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 111°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 98°, 13.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,149 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.5° high at azimuth 358°, 60.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:07 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.
