Horizon view
Horizon from Messala
39.3079° N, 60.0591° E · cell 31SBH
- Highest horizon point
- Messala: 5.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 17°.
- Farthest visible point
- 73.0 km away at azimuth 119°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,903 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 45.8° high at azimuth 208°, 45.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:20 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.
