Horizon view
Horizon from Phillips A
27.1476° S, 73.5905° E · cell 32JGN
- Highest horizon point
- Phillips A: 22.6° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 51°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.58 km away at azimuth 13°, 21.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,251 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 46.9° high at azimuth 301°, 25.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:57:27 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.
