Horizon view
Horizon from Macrobius W
24.7199° N, 44.6194° E · cell 29RBQ
- Highest horizon point
- Macrobius W: 4.4° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 297°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 36°, 1.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,472 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 63.5° high at azimuth 191°, 61.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:34:12 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.
