Horizon from Piccolomini A
26.4371° S, 30.3582° E · cell 27JDT
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini F: 12.3° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 91°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 119°, 11.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 595 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.1° high at azimuth 15°, 53.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:05:12 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.
