Horizon from Piccolomini K
25.7231° S, 29.7143° E · cell 27JCU
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini K: 22.4° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 259°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 0°, 19.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,442 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 64.9° high at azimuth 15°, 45.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 21:00:50 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.
