Horizon view
Horizon from Messala G
39.0700° N, 68.9105° E · cell 32SCN
- Highest horizon point
- Messala G: 5.1° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 258°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.0 km away at azimuth 176°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,952 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 39.4° high at azimuth 225°, 35.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:21:54 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.
