Horizon view
Horizon from Orontius E
39.5911° S, 4.8212° W · cell 22HHM
- Highest horizon point
- Orontius: 7.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 282°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.3 km away at azimuth 323°, 6.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,100 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.9° high at azimuth 57°, 28.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:16:40 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.
