Horizon view
Horizon from Palisa E
8.4696° S, 5.7516° W · cell 22LHK
- Highest horizon point
- Palisa E: 6.3° above the horizontal, 9.48 km away at azimuth 127°.
- Farthest visible point
- 45.5 km away at azimuth 206°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 649 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 47.1° high at azimuth 83°, 45.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:39:03 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.
