Horizon view
Horizon from Licetus
47.1896° S, 6.5435° E · cell 24GDN
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.4° above the horizontal, 37.0 km away at azimuth 250°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 120°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,490 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 35.3° high at azimuth 44°, 30.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:12 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.
