Horizon view
Horizon from Jansen D
15.7162° N, 28.4565° E · cell 27PAK
- Highest horizon point
- Jansen D: 16.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 50°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 14.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,793 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 70.3° high at azimuth 149°, 55.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:57 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.
