Horizon view
Horizon from Fracastorius Z
24.8853° S, 33.5524° E · cell 27JGV
- Highest horizon point
- Fracastorius Z: 10.1° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 223°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 124°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 569 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 66.2° high at azimuth 10°, 60.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:04:58 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.
