Horizon view
Horizon from Huggins A
40.6579° S, 2.2673° W · cell 23GCR
- Highest horizon point
- Orontius: 13.7° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 298°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 4°, 10.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,540 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.7° high at azimuth 55°, 24.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:27 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.
