Horizon view
Horizon from Menelaus C
14.8135° N, 14.4755° E · cell 25PDT
- Highest horizon point
- Menelaus C: 7.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 94°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 0°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,285 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 61.7° high at azimuth 123°, 54.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:50 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.
