Horizon view
Horizon from Mercator F
29.6744° S, 26.8846° W · cell 20JBK
- Highest horizon point
- Mercator F: 6.5° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 69°, -0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 791 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 20.9° high at azimuth 79°, 21.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:49:05 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.
