Horizon from Hortensius
6.4671° N, 27.9995° W · cell 20NAN
- Highest horizon point
- Hortensius: 22.6° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 304°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 119°, 18.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,013 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.4° high at azimuth 94°, 4.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:32:23 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.
