Horizon from Hortensius D
5.4011° N, 32.3769° W · cell 19NEG
- Highest horizon point
- Hortensius D: 5.5° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 99°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,454 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 19.4° high at azimuth 93°, 13.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:48 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.
