Horizon view
Horizon from Magelhaens
11.9758° S, 44.0740° E · cell 29LAL
- Highest horizon point
- Magelhaens: 6.8° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 142°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 0°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,577 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 78.4° high at azimuth 336°, 73.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:36 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.
