Horizon view
Horizon from Hortensius G
8.1334° N, 26.1686° W · cell 20PCQ
- Highest horizon point
- Hortensius G: 6.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 89°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,064 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.9° high at azimuth 95°, 18.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:15 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.
