Horizon view
Horizon from Messala C
41.0032° N, 65.8408° E · cell 31TGK
- Highest horizon point
- Messala C: 19.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 10°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 35°, 18.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,802 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 40.9° high at azimuth 217°, 23.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:15:58 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.
