Horizon view
Horizon from Hortensius C
5.9323° N, 26.7307° W · cell 20NBN
- Highest horizon point
- Hortensius C: 14.9° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 85°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 235°, 10.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,560 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 25.0° high at azimuth 94°, 10.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:52 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.
