Horizon view
Horizon from Messala E
39.9907° N, 64.9508° E · cell 31SFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Messala E: 8.4° above the horizontal, 18.9 km away at azimuth 231°.
- Farthest visible point
- 24.6 km away at azimuth 162°, 5.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,544 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 41.7° high at azimuth 218°, 34.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:10 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.
