Horizon view
Horizon from Lalande
4.4556° S, 8.6467° W · cell 22MEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Lalande: 13.6° above the horizontal, 11.4 km away at azimuth 210°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 76°, 10.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,635 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.5° high at azimuth 88°, 30.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:15 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.
