Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius Y
23.0127° S, 31.9334° E · cell 27KEC
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius Y: 17.1° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 179°, 8.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,223 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 67.2° high at azimuth 19°, 60.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:34:00 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.
