Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius M
21.8084° S, 32.9198° E · cell 27KGD
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius: 5.7° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 139°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,782 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 68.6° high at azimuth 18°, 64.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:55 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.
