Horizon view
Horizon from Messier B
0.9029° S, 48.0577° E · cell 29MFD
- Highest horizon point
- Messier B: 16.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 298°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 4°, 14.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,789 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 77.4° high at azimuth 268°, 63.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 22:02:21 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.
