Horizon from Guericke
11.5663° S, 14.1872° W · cell 21LHR
- Highest horizon point
- Guericke: 1.5° above the horizontal, 27.5 km away at azimuth 284°.
- Farthest visible point
- 46.4 km away at azimuth 351°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,982 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.3° high at azimuth 84°, 34.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:19 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.
