Horizon view
Horizon from Palmieri
28.6407° S, 47.7974° W · cell 17JFL
- Highest horizon point
- Palmieri: 5.6° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 256°.
- Farthest visible point
- 50.2 km away at azimuth 127°, 0.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 720 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 6.2° high at azimuth 88°, 4.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:22:09 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.
