Horizon view
Horizon from Messala D
40.5165° N, 67.8908° E · cell 31TJK
- Highest horizon point
- Messala D: 8.3° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 165°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 59°, 7.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,546 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 38.8° high at azimuth 223°, 31.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:22 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.
