21.5232° N, 52.1362° W · cell 16QKG
- Highest horizon point
- Herodotus A: 21.1° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 20°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,304 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.6°. At 2026-10-22 19:04:48 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.
