Horizon view
Horizon from Hortensius A
4.3685° N, 30.7541° W · cell 19NGF
- Highest horizon point
- Hortensius A: 19.2° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 322°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 17.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,575 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 21.1° high at azimuth 93°, 3.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:56 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.
