Horizon view
Horizon from Piccolomini M
27.8832° S, 31.8369° E · cell 27JES
- Highest horizon point
- Piccolomini M: 15.1° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 188°.
- Farthest visible point
- 13.3 km away at azimuth 34°, 9.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,721 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 62.8° high at azimuth 14°, 51.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:08:59 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.
