Horizon view
Horizon from Gemma Frisius Y
37.5625° S, 13.5292° E · cell 25HCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Gemma Frisius W: 4.6° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 6°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 68°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 21 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.5° high at azimuth 37°, 43.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:28:48 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.
