Horizon view
Horizon from Metius F
39.1220° S, 42.7354° E · cell 28HHN
- Highest horizon point
- Metius F: 14.7° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 167°, 9.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 73 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 52.1° high at azimuth 355°, 40.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:45:17 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.
