Horizon view
Horizon from Letronne A
12.1483° S, 39.0995° W · cell 18LGR
- Highest horizon point
- Letronne A: 21.6° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 85°, 14.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,788 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 11.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 14.9°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:51 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.
