Horizon view
Horizon from Guericke D
11.9947° S, 14.6244° W · cell 21LGR
- Highest horizon point
- Guericke: 16.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 101°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 45°, 15.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,853 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 37.6° high at azimuth 82°, 21.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:27 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.
