Horizon view
Horizon from Fraunhofer U
40.2685° S, 65.1699° E · cell 31GGM
- Highest horizon point
- Fraunhofer U: 12.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 126°.
- Farthest visible point
- 12.3 km away at azimuth 214°, 9.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,695 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 44.3° high at azimuth 322°, 36.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:39 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.
