Horizon view
Horizon from Metius
40.4244° S, 43.3727° E · cell 28GJL
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.1° above the horizontal, 41.7 km away at azimuth 216°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 27°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,587 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 50.9° high at azimuth 356°, 46.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:21 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.
