Horizon view
Horizon from Piccolomini J
25.0113° S, 30.1400° E · cell 27JCV
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini J: 6.2° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.9 km away at azimuth 94°, 0.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 249 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 65.5° high at azimuth 16°, 63.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:30:05 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.
