Horizon view
Horizon from Lalande U
3.1727° S, 8.1572° W · cell 22MES
- Highest horizon point
- Lalande U: 7.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 239°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 5.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,065 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 43.4° high at azimuth 89°, 40.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:17:04 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.
