Horizon view
Horizon from Fraunhofer H
40.7627° S, 61.5709° E · cell 31GCL
- Highest horizon point
- Fraunhofer H: 6.9° above the horizontal, 22.7 km away at azimuth 134°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 44°, 3.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,838 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.2° high at azimuth 326°, 39.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:56:56 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.
