Horizon view
Horizon from Palmieri J
33.6790° S, 49.4218° W · cell 17HDE
- Highest horizon point
- Palmieri J: 20.2° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 19°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,851 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 89° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.8°. At 2026-10-22 18:24:17 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.
